184 TESTIMONY OF KOBEET OGDEN DOEEMUS. 



You certainly appear to be decidedly of tlie opinion that it is 

 better for the Board of Health if they cannot do both things they 

 had better secure the public against the removal of cream, but they 

 have done both. A. If your Honor will allow me, perhaps, to show 

 to your Honor and to the jury a very simple method by which the 

 amount of water and the amount of butter may be told in a very 

 short time ; will your Honor permit me to finish this analysis, this 

 last one of Clark's? caseine and sugar 5.919, salts 0.758. 



By Mr. LAWRENCE Q. Does that conclude it ? A. It does. 



Q. Did you, on December 18, 1876, receive from your son, 

 Thomas C. Doremus, larger samples of milk, procured on that day, 

 about which he testified in Court on Friday ? A. I did, sir. 



Q. Will you state whether you examined those with the lacto- 

 meter, and analyzed some of them, and the results ? A. If I am 

 permitted by your Honor I would state that I requested my son to 

 bring some samples of milk, some of low gravity which might be 

 shown to the Court and jury, and these were contained in the bot- 

 tles that were so often presented, and which were so repeatedly 

 refused to be tested ; it was simply to show that there was milk of 

 low gravity, and these bottles contained it ; those are pure milk, 

 but they were all scared and would not tell by the lactometer, and 

 all the senses combined, whether it was milk or not ; the first was 

 from the blue cow, that is what it was called ; I tested it with the 

 lactometer, which has been shown in Court ; at a temperature 

 of 60 Fahr. that stood at 122 ; another from the cow Star, at 

 the same temperature, stood at 97.5. 



Q. The bottles were numbered, and perhaps you have the num- 

 bers in your analysis, the samples were numbered here ? A. I 

 have not the numbers, but I suppose my son can identify them ; one 

 called Black No. 81, another called Mooley, 99. Three of these, 

 your Honor will observe, below 100, and one markedly above it ; I 

 was in hopes they would test this with the lactometer and the senses 

 both, and see how they came out. 



Q. Did you analyze any of those ? A. I did not. 



Q. Did you, on December 24th, last Sunday, receive from your 

 son, Thomas C., other samples of milk? A. I did, sir. 



Q. Did you test any of those with the lactometer ? A. I did ; 

 late on Sunday night I received three samples, one from the cow
