CHAPTER 412. 



AN ACT to prevent the adulteration of and deception in the sale 



of linseed or flaxseed oil. 



Became a law April 22, 1898, with the approval of the Governor. Passed, 



a majority being present. 



The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and 

 Assembly, do enact as follows: 



Section 1. No person, firm or corporation shall manufacture 

 or mix for sale, sell, or offer for sale, under the name of raw lin- 

 seed oil, any article which is not wholly the product of com- 

 mercially pure linseed or flaxseed. Nor shall any person, firm or 

 corporation manufacture or mix for sale, sell, or offer for sale, 

 under the name of boiled linseed oil, any article, unless the oil 

 from which said article is made be wholly the product of com- 

 mercially pure linseed or flaxseed, and unless the same has been 

 heated to at least two hundred and twenty-five degrees Fahren- 

 heit. 



2. Nothing in this act shall be construed as prohibiting the sale 

 or manufacture of any compound of linseed or flaxseed oil; pro- 

 vided, that such compound, if it imitates in appearance and is 

 designed to take the place of linseed or flaxseed oil, shall not 

 be manufactured or mixed for sale, sold or offered for sale, under 

 a name or description containing the words "linseed oil" or 

 "flaxseed oil."
