5. The State Board of Health shall take cognisance of the interests
of the public health as it relates to the sale of food, drugs,
spirituous, fermented and malt liquors, and the adulteration thereof,
and make all necessary inquiries relating thereto. It shall have the
supervision of the appointment of public analysts and chemists, and
upon its recommendation, whenever it shall deem any such officers
incompetent, the appointment of any and every such officer shall be
revoked and be held to be void and of no effect. Within thirty days
after the passage of this Act, and from time to time thereafter as
it may deem expedient, the said Board of Health shall meet and adopt
such measures, not provided for by this Act, as may seem necessary to
facilitate the enforcement of this Act, and for the purpose of making
an examination or analysis of spirituous, fermented or malt liquors
sold or exposed for sale in any store or place of business not herein
otherwise provided for, and prepare rules and regulations with regard
to the proper methods of collecting and examining articles of food,
drugs, spirituous, fermented or malt liquors, and for the appointment
of the necessary inspectors and analysts. The said Board shall at
least once in the calendar year cause samples to be procured in public
market or otherwise, of the spirituous, fermented or malt liquors
distilled, brewed, manufactured or offered for sale in each and every
brewery or distillery located in this State, and a test, sample or
analysis thereof to be made by a chemist or analyst duly appointed
by said Board of Health. The samples shall be kept in vessels and
in a condition necessary and adequate to obtain a proper test and
analysis of the liquors contained therein. The vessels containing
such samples shall be properly labelled and numbered by the secretary
of said Board of Health, who shall also prepare and keep an accurate
and proper list of the names of the distillers, brewers or vendors,
and opposite each name shall appear the number which is written or
printed upon the label attached to the vessel containing the sample
of the liquor manufactured, brewed, distilled or sold. Such lists,
numbers and labels shall be exclusively for the information of the
said Board of Health, and shall not be disclosed or published unless
upon discovery of some deleterious substance prior to the completion
of the analysis, except when required in evidence in a court of
justice. The samples when listed and numbered shall be delivered to
the chemist, analyst or other officer of said Board of Health, and
shall be designated and known to such chemist, analyst or officer only
by its number, and by no other mark or designation. The result of the
analysis or investigation shall thereupon, and within a convenient
time, be reported by the officer conducting the same to the secretary
of said State Board of Health, setting forth explicitly the nature
