tncntnlion.aml the elder ever afterwards icmalus sweet nnd ood and U a most hcnlthv

Knowing there arc many spurious ciders sold In this market we offer the abov

TUU (i. M. JARVIS CO., Gentlemen:
I baio nindo made 11 chemical examination of the sample of Jan Is Pear Cider
submitted to me n few diys ago, nnd would rcpoit these points among others noted.
'1 he liquid is noiwileohollc and has a specific gravity of 10.65. The total extrac
tive matter amounts to io.jij tier cent., containing only .625 per cent of free add. The
tests show tbU acid to be malic acid as usually found in fruit juices, I find no other
acid or foreign substance added for color or flavor.
I belleic It, therefore, to consist simply of the juice of the Pear as represented.
Yours truly,
J. II. LONG, Analytical Chemist,
Chicago Medical College.
