Extract  from  an  elaborate  Report  to  the  British  Government  on  the  mode 
of  detecting  Vegetable  Substances  mixed  with  Coffee  for  the  purpose  of 
adulteration.    By  Prof.  Graham,  Dr.  Stenhouse  and  Mr.  Campbell. 
[The  Report  from  which  this  extract  is  taken  is  too  extensive  for  intro- 
duction into  this  Journal.  Those  who  wish  to  consult  the  whole  paper 
will  find  it  in  the  April  and  preceding  numbers  of  the  Pharmaceutical 
Journal.  Unusual  interest  attaches  to  the  11th  section,  from  the  facts 
there  stated  in  reference  to  Kinone. — Ed.  Am.  Journ.  Pharm.] 
The  action  of  the  more  ordinary  chemical  reagents  upon  infusions  of 
coffee  and  chicory  may  now  be  noted.  The  indications  thus  obtained  with 
coffee  are  unfortunately  rendered  much  less  characteristic  by  the  torrefac- 
tion  of  the  seed.
