11. When the officer has, by either of the means aforesaid, procured samples of the 

 articles to be analyzed, he shall cause the same to be analyzed by one of the analysts 

 appointed under this act, and if it appears to the analyst that the sample is adulte- 

 rated within the meaning of this a<;t, he shall certify such fact, stating in such cer- 

 tificate, in the case of an article of food or a drug, whether such adulteration is of a 

 nature injurious to the health of the person consuming the same; and the certificate 

 BO given shall be received as evidence in any proceedings taken against any person in 

 pursuance of this act, subject to the right of any person against whom proceedings 

 are taken to require the attendance of the analyst, for the purpose of cross-examina- 

 tion. 48-49 V., c. 67, s. 11. 



12. If the vendor of the article respecting which such certificate is given deems 

 himself aggrieved thereby, he may, within forty-eight hours of the receipt of the first 

 notification of the intention of the officer or other purchaser to take proceedings 

 against him (whether such notification is given by the purchaser or by the ordinary 

 process of law), notify the said officer or purchaser in writing that he intends to ap- 

 peal from the decision of the analyst to the judgment of the chief analyst : and in 

 such case the officer or purchaser shall transmit such notification to the chief analyst, 

 and the chief analyst shall, with all convenient speed, analyze the part of the sample 

 transmitted to the minister of inland revenue for that purpose, and shall report there- 

 on to the said minister; and the decision of such chief analyst shall be final, and his 

 certificate thereof shall have the same effect as the certificate of the analyst in the 

 next preceding section mentioned. 48-49 V., c. 67, s. 12. 



13. Every analyst appointed under this act shall report quarterly to the minister 

 of inland revenue the number of articles of food, drugs, and agricultural fertilizers 

 analyzed by him under this act during the preceding quarter, and shall specify the 

 nature and kind of adulterations detected in such articles of food, drugs, and agricult- 

 ural fertilizers; and all such reports, or a synopsis of them, and the names of the

15. If milk is sold, or offered or exposed for sale, after aiy valuable constituent of 

 the article has been abstracted therefrom, or if water has been added thereto, or if it 

 is the product of a diseased animal fed upon unwholesome food, it shall be deemed 

 to have been adulterated in a manner injurious to health, and such sale, offer, or ex- 

 posure for sale shall render the vendor liable to the penalty hereinafter provided in 

 respect to the sale of adulterated food; except that skimmed milk may be sold as 

 such if contained in cans bearing upon their exterior, within twelve inches of the 

 tops of such vessels, the word ''skimmed" in letters of not less than two inches in 

 length, and served in measures also similarly marked ; but any person supplying 

 such skimmed milk, unless such quality of milk has been asked for by the purchaser, 

 shall not be entitled to plead the provisions of this section as a defense to or in ex- 

 tenuation of any violation of this act : 



(2) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to permit or warrant the admixtnre 

 of water with milk, or any other process than the removal of cream by skimming. 

 48-49 V., c. 67, s, 15. 



16. Vinegar sold, or offered or exposed for sale, shall be deemed to be adulterated

 contains any soluble salt having copper or lead as a base thereof whether such min- 

 eral acid or salt is added either during the process of manufacture or subsequently. 

 48-49 V., c. 67, s. 16.
