# FOOD AND DRUGS ORDINANCE.

5. The following Table gives the results of 61 analyses made at the instance of the Police and the Sanitary Board: --

DESCRIPTION. NO. OF SAMPLES. No. FOUND GENUINE. No. FOUND ADULTERATED. Beer, Brandy, Cheese, Milk, Whisky, 8 2 6 33 29 1, 12, 12, 0

Many other samples were examined for the public, mostly at the low fee prescribed by the Ordinance.

# PHARMACY ORDINANCE,

6. Informality was proved in the sale of a depilatory containing a compound of arsenic. Three patent medicines said to be made up with poison were obtained for examination but no poison was contained therein.

# MINERALOGICAL.

7. More Mengtze tin came through last year, so that it seems that miners are tired of holding stocks with a view to a rise in the price of the metal. A fair number of coals were examined. For steam-raising purpose Hongay lump (unmixed or mixed with Japanese) and Kaiping Loco seem to be economical coals.

# LIQUORS ORDINANCE.

8. A few samples of European liquor, many of Chinese make, and numerous kinds of denatured spirit were examined. A good deal of Chinese liquor was analysed to see if the names, under which the brands were sold, indicated to any extent the strength in alcohol. With the assistance of the Registrar General it was found to be possible to classify these beverages into groups. In connection with this work much was learnt of the nature and composition of Chinese Wines and Spirits. These particulars have been compiled by Mr. A. C. Franklin, F.I.C., Assistant Government Analyst.
