  All 
  cases 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  settled 
  or 
  compromised 
  by 
  counsel 
  

   for 
  less 
  than 
  full 
  payment 
  aro 
  cases 
  where 
  a 
  judgment 
  against 
  

   the 
  offender 
  would 
  be 
  worthless, 
  and 
  for 
  the 
  further 
  reason 
  that 
  

   in 
  several 
  cases 
  we 
  caught 
  them 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  they 
  ever 
  had.

  We 
  have 
  kept 
  a 
  constant 
  watch 
  for 
  adulteration 
  in 
  this 
  article, 
  

   but 
  have 
  found 
  very 
  little 
  that 
  was 
  not 
  standard, 
  and 
  I 
  believe 
  

   that 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  manufacturers 
  are 
  improving 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  

   their 
  product, 
  and 
  that 
  veiy 
  few 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  sending 
  out 
  colored 
  

   ■vdnegar 
  for 
  pure 
  cider 
  vinegar. 
  But 
  on 
  investigation 
  I 
  am 
  led 
  to 
  

   believe 
  that 
  some 
  manufacturers 
  are 
  making 
  a 
  vinegar 
  and 
  putting 
  it 
  

   on 
  the 
  market 
  for 
  pure 
  cider 
  vinegar 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  as 
  represented, 
  

   and 
  they 
  are 
  making 
  it 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  way 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  hard 
  for 
  a 
  chem- 
  

   ist 
  to 
  detect 
  it. 
  A 
  thorough 
  research 
  should 
  be 
  made 
  by 
  our 
  chem- 
  

   ists 
  to 
  see 
  if 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  detected. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  our 
  constant 
  aim 
  in 
  

   taking 
  samples 
  of 
  ■\dnegar 
  which 
  were 
  adulterated, 
  to 
  take 
  them 
  

   so 
  that 
  they 
  would 
  strike 
  home 
  to 
  the 
  manufacturer, 
  and 
  this 
  has 
  

   been 
  done, 
  as 
  in 
  two 
  cases 
  they 
  have 
  settled, 
  although 
  in 
  one 
  case 
  

   the 
  sample 
  was 
  not 
  taken 
  direct 
  from 
  them.
