 presence of a witness. 



2. The inspector must affix to each sample a label bearing a number, his initialsj 

 and the date of purchase. 



3. Under no circumstance is the inspector to inform the analyst as to the source of 

 the sample before the analysis shall have been completed and formally reported to 

 the president or secretary of the state board of health. 



4. Inspectors are to keep a record of each sample as follows : 



(1) Number of sample. 



(2) Date and time of purchase. 



(3) Name of witness to sealing. 



(4) Name and address of seller. 



(5) Name and address of producer, manufacturer, or wholesaler, when known, 



with marks on original package. 



(6) Name of analyst and date of sending. 



(7) How sent to analyst. 



5. If the seller desires a portion of the sample, the inspector is to deliver it under 

 seal. The duplicate sample left with seller should have 'a label containing the same 

 marks as are affixed to the portion taken by the inspector. 



6. The inspector is to deliver the sample to the analyst, taking his receipt for the 

 same, or ho may send it by registered mail, express, or special messenger. 



DUTIES OF THE ANALYSTS. 



1. The analyst is to analyze the samples immediately upon receipt thereof. 



2. Samples, with the exception of milk and similar perishable articles, are to be di- 

 vided by the analyst and a portion sealed up, and a copy of the original label affixed. 

 These duplicates are to be sent to the secretary of the state board of health at the 

 end of each month, and to be retained by him until demanded for another analysis, 

 as provided for in section 3 of these rules. 



3. Should the result obtained by any analyst be disputed in any case, an appeal may 

 be made to the State board of health, through its secretary, by the defendant or per- 

 son selling the sample, or his attorney, and said secretary shall then require another 

 member of the committee of public analysts to repeat the analysis, using the dupli- 

 cate sample for such purpose. But when an appeal shall be made, a sum of money 

 sufficient to cover the expenses of the second analysis shall be deposited with the 

 president of the state board of health, which sum shall be paid over to the analyst 

 designated by the president and secretary of the board to perform the second analy- 

 sis, in case the analysis shall be found to agree with the first in all essential particu- 

 lars.
