ANALYSES OF MISCELLANEOUS FOOD MATERIALS. 



IOI 



A large proportion of the foods examined were of English 

 manufacture and may be classed under the general head of

 the needs of the body, may still enable the consumer to continue 

 his active pursuits for a few days without an appreciable loss of 

 strength. Of the other articles examined, 3 consist chiefly of 

 proteids and are designed not as foods in the general sense, but 

 rather as articles of dietetic therapy. The results of the analyses
