These samples were all analyzed by the several chemists, and as we had 

 reason to suppose would be the case, the results were surprisingly alike. 

 All the chemists detected the adulteration, but could not distinguish 

 honey dew honey from adulterated honey, nor could they detect honey 

 produced by feeding syrup made- from granulated sugar, but classed it 

 with some of the best genuine honey, as suspicio.is. This product, as 

 will be seen by the analyses, is not simply caae syrup, but transformed 

 cane syrup which has been changed by the bees, much as they change 

 nectar which they collect from the flowers, as they digest it or ti-ansform 

 it into honey.
