Simple Methods for Detecting Food Adulteration

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little book is not written with the idea of alarming the householder, but rather to put into his own hands the methods of detecting ordinary adulterations by very simple means - means that should always be at hand in the ordinary house hold. We hear it sometimes said, Oh, I don't believe in this adulteration - our food is not adulterated. Fortunately it is not adulterated to an alarming extent; that is, however, not the point; it should not be adulterated at all.
