A) About I cc. of the syrup I was taken and the color reactions 
were tested, according to the methods already described. The results 
obtained are shown in the following table.

B) The syrup I was diluted somewhat with water and then neutral 
lead acetate was carefully added, until no more precipitate was formed 
and after allowing to stand 24 hours it was filtered. The excess of the 
lead in the filtrate was removed by hydrogen sulphide. The lead-free 
filtrate was concentrated to a syrup (syrup II) under the reduced pressure. 
The results were as follows :
