Overview

Excerpt from A Brief History of the M ge Discovery: Oleomargarine Butter or Butterine Before the Social Science Association, convened at Saratoga in the summer of 1879, Mr. George T. An gel] of Boston, President of the Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals, delivered an address on the Adulteration of Food. He dwelt at length on -the im purity oi oleomargarine butter (butterine), and 'made a series of most unjust and unfounded statements against its wholesom'eness. This, from a man who does not even pretend to be a scientific man, and who never made a chemical analysis in his life, was a pretty bold under taking. The only groundwork he had for the statements he made were taken from an article of one John Michel], an amateur microscopist having no scientific standing and whose labor in every field, even to the examination of a drop of water, is the subject of scientific ridicule, and who sold the result of his sensational article on oleo margarine to a dairy paper for twenty-five dollars. It is the object of this pamphlet to present a full and minute examination of the whole subject of oleomargarine, briefly considering the result of the investigation of the leading scientific men in this country.
