Since the issuance of the foregoing circular the manufacturers of certain of these 

 brands of baking-powders have sought to pervert the facts brought out by these 

 analyses, and, by arguments and conclusions wholly unwarranted by the factsstatcd, 

 or by the principles of chemical science, have for their own benefit held and assumed 

 tli.it the circular and analyses show a state of facts which they do not show, and lead 

 to conclusions to which they do not lead. Nevertheless, the truth will assert itself, 

 and this investigation and discussion, which is still going on, will throw a Hood of 

 lifjht on this whole field of commercial food products that will bo of incalculable 

 benefit to the people of the State.
