It was alleged that bottled oherries were picked greeu, the color removed with acid, and then dyed bright red with analine dye. A sample of the dye taken from a bottle of oherries dyed a piece of cloth scarlet. Ia a bottle labelled “ pure honey ” the contents were found to be entirely gluoose. The battle contained a dead bee to deceive the public. Patent medicines were shown, containing opium and cooaioe, and were deolared to be largely responsible for the alarming inerease in the opium and oooaine habits.
