Excerpt from Detection of Fraud and of Health: Protection of Adulteration of Food and Drink; Plain and Simple Directions for Detecting Them; The Deleterious Influence of Lead on the Human, System, Means

From us the brightest ornaments of society. It has torn the dear parent from dutiful and affec tionate children! It has taken from the mother the brightest hem of her declining years, and made her life a misery. But it is unnecessary to say more in a preface, as I trust that, in the peru sal of the work, every one will see and know for themselves, that in the midst of life we are in death, and I sincerely hope that some means will be taken to put a stop to this trifling with human life and human happiness, and that ere long we shall see the place of poisons supplied by nature's own healthful productions; that we may see the establishments, and the owners thereof, that manu facture those articles so deleterious to health, sink into merited oblivion, never again to rise. If this little work Should be the means of awakening the public mind to a sense of duty, that shall result in some good for the present and future generations, I shall feel happy in thinking that my labor has been appreciated, and that in future years, when I have left this scene of action, my name will still live, in remembrance of this philanthropic and bold.
