TESTIMONY OF CHARLES F. CHANDLER. 47 



Q. This milk when you first tested it was at a temperature of 67 

 and a lactometrical degree of 82 ; I believe when next tested it was 

 at a temperature of 59 Fahr. and a lactometrical degree of 90 ; this 

 shows the decrease of 8 degrees of temperature and an increase of 

 8 lactometrical degrees, does it not ? A. I did not follow your 

 figures. 



Q. The first temperature was 67, the last 59 ; the first lactome- 

 trical 82 and the last 90 ; I simply want to see if I am correct ? A. 

 Yes, sir ; the can which was handed back to me stands at 90 on the 

 lactometer. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. Now, sir, go on ? A. This one contains a 

 sample of commercial milk purchased in this neighborhood. 



Q. Is that pure milk or not ? A. It is not. 



Q. What does it show ? A. It shows that it has been watered. 



Q. What does the next contain ? A. The next contains skimmed 

 milk that I skimmed myself. 



Q. What does it stand at ? A. 114. 



Q. What is the next one ? A. The next one is cream. 



Q. What does that stand at? A. 44. 



By Mr. PRENTICE I would submit to the Court and the learned 

 gentlemen it would be agreeable to us if the jury would be permitted 

 to see the milk that is there, the different samples and to read the 

 lactometer. 



Dr. CHANDLER I simply call attention to the fact that the 

 skimmed milk is very thin, consequently when the lactometer is drawn 

 out of it the liquid runs off the lactometer and leaves it clean ; it is 

 thin and translucent and the liquid runs readily from the lactometer ; 

 in the case of cream the liquid is thick and opaque ; it takes a long 

 time, comparatively, for the cream to run off the lactometer ; so 

 that observation makes it easy to distinguish between cream, which 

 is thick and makes a coating and skimmed milk, which is very thin ; 

 now this watered milk is between the two ; it is not as thin as the 

 skimmed milk nor is it as thick as the cream : compared with the 

 skimmed milk, it does not run off as rapidly as the skimmed milk 

 does, but runs off much more rapidly than the cream does, and there 

 is a difference in the color. 



Q. Those are all lactometers of the Health Department, are 

 they? A. They are.
