Cider Vinegars Reduced to Standard Strength by Addi- 

 tion of Water. 



Table showing results of analyses of samples purchased 

 in ipip. These samples ran from 3.8 per cent to 4.2 per cent 

 acetic acid. In reducing them from their normal content of 5 

 per cent or more of acetic acid, some manufacturers allow a 

 fair margin of safety while others evidently trust to getting by 

 zvithout prosecution if they approximate the lawful strength. 

 At the present price of vinegar this little fraud is profitable. In 

 .the table below there is first given the vinegars that are 4 per 

 cent in strength, and below that the list of vinegars that were 

 slightly under lazvful strength. All of these samples were 

 passed. The samples are arranged alphabetically by towns. 



Up to lawful strength of 4 per cent acetic acid.
