Page 84 - No person shall sell to the prejudice of the purchaser any article of food or any drug which is not of the nature, substance, and quality of the article demanded...
Page 31 - Though very poor, may still be very blest ; That trade's proud empire hastes to swift decay, As ocean sweeps the labour'd mole away ; While self-dependent power can time defy, As rocks resist the billows and the sky.
Page 147 - Analyst) and elsewhere, it appears that not a few analysts have forgotten that the resulte obtained by the analysis of milk are not results laying claim to absolute scientific accuracy, but are only comparative ones, and that the limits adopted by the Society, 9 per cent, of solids not fat, and 2'5 per cent, of fat, hold good only when each analysis is made in the manner which led to the adoption of these limits ; namely, by drying five grammes of the milk for two and a half to three hours over an...
Page 183 - ... that after the death of the grub and during the assumption of the viscid, putrid condition, this constant alteration of bacilli into spores continues ; that after removal from the hive it goes on so rapidly that in a day or two scarcely a bacillus as such is discoverable, whilst the spores are innumerable, and, in addition, that a very cautious preparation of some broken down viscus showed that the bacilli and spores arranged themselves in that most singular line fashion (fig. 10) which Mr. Watson...
Page 186 - I noticed one bee nearly dead on its back, another hopping in abortive flights of 3 or 4 inches, and presently found a third and fourth worn out and too far gone to enter the hive again. The first bee contained nothing remarkable, but the second was almost an empty shell, the air sacs occupied nearly all the abdomen.
Page 191 - I examined several hundreds of the cells containing feeding grubs, surrounded by dead larvae ; so that, although I would not dogmatise, my strong opinion is, that commonly neither honey nor pollen carry the disease, but that the feet and antennae of the bees usually do.
Page 36 - English producer has the advantage of at least id. a pound for cost and risk of transport, as against his American competitor — an advantage equal to 4/. on an average ox. Of this natural advantage nothing can deprive him, and with this he may rest content.
Page 200 - I could take an apiary beginning of March with every stock diseased, and by May 1, with but very little labour, deliver it up clean and strong, as strong as though the disease had never appeared.
Page 197 - To place the food, with added phenol, on 'the hive, will, however, do nothing in the greater number of cases. If honey be coming in, the bees will not touch it ; but open the stocks, remove the broodcombs and pour the medicated syrup into those cells immediately around and over the brood, and the bees will use a curative quantity of phenol.
Page 186 - The first bee contained nothing remarkable, but the second was almost an empty shell, the air sacs occupied nearly all the abdomen. The stomach and colon were exceedingly small and the amount of fluid I could obtain truly microscopic, but this was enough for the microscope, which showed it at once as full of active bacilli. The question was answered. The large consequences flowing from it were clear. Swarms must no longer be stated as incapable of carrying the disease. Bees from a presumably clean...
