only seven of which proved not to be adulterated. The adulterated 

 samples contaiued chemical preservatives, coal-tar dyes or artificial 

 flavor, with the presence of the latter not stated on the label. 



A majority of these samples were wholly artificial or imitation 

 products, while many of them were compound products, containing a 

 small quantity of fruit cider. 



On account of the sale of these products in territories where the 

 sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited by law, many of these sam- 

 ples were sent to the Department by city officials or other citizens for 

 the determination of the amount of alcohol contained or supposed to 

 be contained. The sale of them was often discontinued, either on 

 account of the amount of alcohol found to be present or adulterants 

 which rendered their sale in the State illegal.
