* Certified to be watered under Adulteration Act. 



The above table gives the results of 14 samples of milk recently 

 taken by the police under the Adulteration Law. Six of these 

 were certified to be adulterated with water. 



In one case the water used was very dirty, and evidence of B. 

 sporogenes enteritidis was obtained markedly toxic to guinea-pigs. 

 A comparison of these figures with those of genuine average milk 

 from the 7 dairies shows that the police will act in the public in- 

 terest to maintain a systematic check on the milk as sold in the 

 city of Kingston.

These analyses were made on single tins only, and the results 

 may not be representative of the bulk as imported into the island. 



From these data it would appear that a lib. tin of good con- 

 densed milk selling at 5d. would be equal to 450Z. of Kingston
