§ 50. Definition of adulterated vinegar. — All vinegar which con- 

 tains any proportion of lead, copper, sulphuric acid, or other 

 ingredients injurious to health, or any artificial coloring matter 

 or which has not an acidity equivalent to the presence of at 

 least four and one-half per centum, by weight, of absolute acetic 

 acid, or cider vinegar which has less than such an amount of 

 acidity, or less than two per centum of cider vinegar solids on 

 full evaporation over boiling water, shall be deemed adulterated. 

 The term cider vinegar, when used in this article means vinegar 

 made exclusively from pure apple juice. Provided, however, that 

 cider vinegar made by a farmer in this state, exclusively from 

 apples grown on his land, or their equivalent in cider taken in 

 exchange therefor, shall not be deemed adulterated, if it contain 

 two per centum solids and sufficient alcohol to develop the re- 

 quired amount of acetic acid. (As amended by chapter 308 of the 

 Laios of 1901.)
