EXTRACTS. 
Three samples of coffee extracts were examined, viz: Serial Nos. 6875, 
6895 and 6897. No. 6875 contained no caffeine. On further examina- 
tion it was found to contain cereals or other starchy bodies and no 
coffee. This sample contained tin and traces of copper. The former 
amounted to 0.248 grams per 1,000 grams of the extract. 
Sample No. 6895 contained 1.19 per cent caffeine. This is about 
Konig’s mean (see p. 903) for roasted coffees; hence pound for pound this 
is about equal to average coffee. This sample contained considerable 
dextrose.
