by this Association be requested and instructed to take 
prompt action to bring this matter of the adulteration of

or drink, or drugs, in this State, otherwise than with full 
notice of their character. 
Resolved, That this Legislative Committee be requested 
to take prompt action to bring this question of the adul¬

before the Congress of these United States, and endeavor 
to secure the passage of such laws by the General Govern¬

Resolved, That the bill for the incorporation of the 
Illinois Dairymen’s Association, passed by the Senate and 
favorably recommended by two committees of the House of 
Representatives, at the last session of the legislature, should 
become a law without further delay, and that such state 
recognition of this constantly-growing industry is alike due 
to its importance and the great additions it has already 
made to our taxable wealth, as well as to the state at large, 
which is entitled to the benefit of the investigations, and 
experiences of this Association, while it should liberally 
aid the further prosecution of its labors.
