FEDERAL INSPECTION OF FOODS AND DRUGS 
IN CANADA 
These laboratories, as has been already mentioned in previous 
reports, are concerned with the technical problems involved in the 
administration of the following Acts of Parliament, which have been 
placed under the care of the Department of Inland Revenue. 
The Adulteration Act. 
The Fertilizers Act. 
The Commercial Feeding Stuffs Act. 
The Proprietary and Patent Medicines Act. 
The Inland Revenue Act. 
The main laboratories are situated at Ottawa. Sub-laboratories 
have recently been established at Halifax, Winnipeg, and Vancouver; 
locations which are favourably situated as regards the geographical 
extent of Canada. It may be necessary, in the future, to increase 
the number of these sub-laboratories, having regard to density of 
population, manufacturing industries, and ports of entry. In such 
event, it is evident that the cities of Montreal and Toronto would 
have to be recognized. 
So far as the first three Acts named above are concerned, our 
work is published in bulletin form and my last report enumerated 
the bulletins issued between February, 1914, and May, 1915. The 
following is a list of those published to this date :—
