a few extracts from an article by ft E.
Doollttle. chief of tha New York city
port laboratory: 1
- Tjunng tne nrst year aner tna ap
proval of tha rood and drugs act; that
is, during; tha year ending June 10, 1807,
there were examined approximately
000 Invoices of food products by tha in
specting officers; 4,931 sampfaa were
aubmitted to chemical examination In
tha laboratories; 28,137 cssea of food
products have been examined on the la
spection floors of the customs exam
iners, rrom which no samples were
taken and Invoices not detained for
reason that theae gooda were known
from previous examinations or correo'
tlona ln labels to ba ln compliance with
tna taw.
Tind Many Violations.
" Of the 4,931 samples submitted to
cnemicai examination, 1,71s were round
to comply with the1 law and 1.218 to vio
late Its provisions. Of the 1.213 ship
ments found to be ln violation of the
law, 171 were required to be reshlpped
beyond the jurisdiction of tha United
States, or to be destroyed; 177 were ad
mitted after the labels were corrected
to meat the requirements of the act, and
86b were released on final hearing with
out prejudice to future decisions by
the department ln similar cases. Dur
ing the paat year just closed, tha work
has increased very much, and I am sorry
that I have not the data at hand so as
to give pou a summary of tha year's
work, closing June 30, 1903.
