for Acme Beers
The United States Health Bulletin, the American authority
on matters of health, 'sanitation and hygiene, in its issue for
May, 1904, contains the following editorial comment:—
“One of the several breweries of whose product we have
spoken before, as :e=chin? a high degree of perfection from
its care in preparation, its freedom from adulteration together
with the purity of the water used in its manufacture and the
v sanitary and hygienic methods employed in the handling of
this brewery as one of the few that we know to be of as
high and honest a grade as it is possible to produce, and we
make this editorial recommendation without any request
from and without even the knowledge of the manufacturers
of this beer, that it i to be mate at the time of its printing,
gladly letting them derive what benefit they may-from the
publicity we give them, in the interests of purity in the mak-
