ANALYSIS OF SALT. 



Experience proves that the best quality of salt can be made from 

 Michigan brines, and that a great preponderance of the salt sold in 

 the market has been found as pure and as efificient an antiseptic as 

 any mined or manufactured elsewhere, either in our own or foreign 

 countries.
