The Adulteration of our Food has become so dangerous and universal a practice , that the Legislature have deemed it necessary to inquire searchingly into the social evil by means of a Committee of tho House of Commons , which has found it to be no fanciful chimera , but a dangerous fact , that nearly all the necessaries of life are fearfully adulterated . The Times newspaper has made the most strenuous efforts to arouse the attention of the public to a sense of the dangers they incur from the present system , and the importance of an effectual remedy being found . In one of its leading articles tho evil is thus graphically depicted : — : " We pay not only with our money , but our lives . For the worst of it is , that the articles \ v 6 purchase are not merely diluted—they are adulterated ¦— positively—abominablypoisonously . There is scarcely a single article of daily use which it is possible to procure genuine from ordinary shops . " We ask for Bread , and we receive a Stone" For Coffee , and we receive Chicory" For Chicory , and -we receive Burnt Carrots , and Powder of Dried Horses'Liver" For Oil of Almonds , and we receive Prussic Acid . " What are we to do when our meat and drink arc poisoned ?" And again : — "Surely any one of respectability sufficient to gain credence for his assertion would make a fortune were he to set his face strenuously against all imposture , and determine to sell only genuine articles , even at a slightly enhanced price . . There is no exaggeration in saying that numbers of invalids , delicate women , and tender children , have fallen victims to adulterations of food , drink , and drugs . Paralysis has also been clearly traced to this cause , and the universal diffusion of indigestion owes its origin very largely to the effect of the dangerous adulterations of our food . To remedy this great social evil ^ the London Unadulterated Food Company is established . Each article vended will bo manufactured or prepared entirely by the Company , and foreign productions will be imported direct ; it will therefore derive the profits of both manufacturer and dealer , at the same time that it ensures perfect freedom from adulteration . A wholesale and export trade of unequalled magnitude may already be considered as guaranteed . Shareholders will have the privilege of purchasing their goods of the Company at wholosale price . Tho great additional viiluo that will attach to tho snares from this regulation is obvious . Amongst the questions put to one of tho witnesses by the Committee of the House of Commons were tho following : — Q . Is it your opinion that adulteration is very preva ^ lent ? A . I find adulteration to be exceedingly prevalent ; it nia-s bo stated , generally , that it prevails in nearly all article ; which it will pay to adulterate . Q . Is it your opinion that tho adulterations of tho variou ; articles to which you have referred have a very importanl influence on the public health P A . No doubt , I think , can possibly bo entertained oi the subject—in tho list * aro some of tho most virulenl poisons . FORM 01 ? AITI / ICATION TOR SHAKESTo tho Directors of tho " London Unadulterated Food Company" ( Limited ) , 25 , Bucklersbury , London . Gentlemen , —I reouest that yon will allot mo Shares of 20 J . each , in the above-named Company , and I undertake to accept the Name , or such less number as you may allot me ; to pay for iho same , and to sign the articles of association of the Company , when required , and I encloso [ have paid into the bankers of tho Company ] ( alter as tho case may bo ) a deposit of I . Dated this day of , 1857 . Name in full Profession or business , Residcnco Each a . pplication must be accompanied by a remittance of , or a banker ' s receipt for , XL per share . Should tho full number of shares applied for not be allotted , a proportionate part of tho amount will be immediately returned , or applied to tho payment of tho remaining 4 , 1 . per share upon the number allotted . Extracts tkom the City Articles oi' the Daily Pukss . ( Tho Times , February , 27 . 18 G 7 . ) The prospectus has been issued of tho ' London Unadulterated Pood Company , ' with a capital of 100 , 000 / . in 20 / shares . It is respectably constituted , and tho object id tc manufacture and sell some of tho articles of food which arc most exposed to UeleteriouH admixture , in a form that w ill guarantee their gcnuineixiHs .

adulterated Food Company ; ' and there can bo scarcely a doubt that , if tho objects laid down in tho prospectus are energetically pursued , and the reputation of the Company established for the supply of aliment in tho highest state of purity , that it will answer well as a commercial enterprise , and fully justify the expectations of the promoters . " { Morning Herald , February 28 , 1857 . ) " The company have secured the services " of that eminent uian . Dr . IiCtheby , Professor of Medical Jurisprudence at the London Hospital , and Officer of Health for the City of London , as chief analyst . This fact is a proof that if science can be beneficially directed towards tho detection of deleterious compounds in the substances on which we exist , it will be called into request . " QlHorning Chronicle , February 28 , 1857 " . ) "It has a respectable direction , and Dr . Letheby is the chief analyist . The company will hold themselves pledged to the purity of every article sold by them , and are determined that not merely the puTity but the general condition of tho goods shall bo all that tite most efficient supervision and improved machinery can make them . After careful calculation , and allowing for every contingency , it is anticipated that the not profits will realise at least 15 per cent , per anmnn "

The expediency of applying Joint Stock Capital to large trading operations in articles of general use or consumption has been indisputably proved by the success of tho Gutta Percha , Patent Candle , and many other Companies , and . the sanctioii which the Legislature has at length extended to the principle of limited liability , removes the objections which formerly existed to such enterprises , « s no shareholder is now liable beyond the amount of his shares . The consumption of Cocoain England has nearly doubled since 1851 , as shown by the Customs returns to the Board of Trade . The Paris Chocolate Company ' s articles will be manufactured upon the Parisian pri nciple from the choicest Cocoas only , quite equal in quality to those of France and Spain , but produced at less cost , by employing skilled Parisian as well as English workmen , and the most efficient machinery . The Council and Prize Medals of the Exhibition of 1851 were awarded them , and they have been honoured with tho patronage of Her Majesty . The Company's Chocolates exclusively supplied at the Central Refreshment Court of the Great Exhibition of 1851 , exceeded that of Tea or Coffee , and upon the quantity there sold , the Contractors realised a profit of upwards of 1000 Z . in six months , and at tho Refreshment liooms of tho Railway Termini they are in constant demand , tho public preferring them to all others . With a connexion already formed , perhaps mo commercial or manufacturing enterprise ever presented so fair an opportunity for the employment of combined capital , and from the increasing extension of the Homo and Export Trade a very large business may soon bo realised , which , as the profits average at least twenty-five per cent ., renders it both a safe and lucrative investment . All the necessary arrangements having been effected , tho Company will commence operations immediately after tho allotment of Shares , as orders aro now waiting execution . Upwards of one-third of tho Capital having already been subscribed for , applications for tho remaining Shares , in tho usual form , must bo accompanied by a payment to tho Bankers of tho Company of tho deposit of'U . per Sharo on the number of the Shares applied lor , for which a voucher will be given ; but should no allotment be made to tlie applicant , the money thus lodged with tho Bankers will bo returned without deduction . Prospectuses , and all further information , may bo obtained of tho Broker , 80 . OKI Broad-street ; and at the Olllccs of the Company , 85 , l ' udding-lano .
