3. Should the result obtained by any analyst be disputed in any
case, an appeal may be made to the State Board of Health, through
its secretary, by the defendant or person selling the sample, or
his attorney, and said secretary shall then require another member
of the Committee of Public Analysts to repeat the analysis, using
the duplicate sample for such purpose. But when an appeal shall be
made, a sum of money sufficient to cover the expenses of the second
analysis shall be deposited with the President of the State Board of
Health, which sum shall be paid over to the analyst designated by the
President and Secretary of the Board to perform the second analysis,
in case the analysis shall be found to agree with the first in all
essential particulars.
4. In the case of all articles having a standard of purity fixed by
any of the laws of the State, the certificate of the analyst should
show the relation of the article in question to that standard.
5. Where standards of strength, purity or quality are not fixed by
law, the Committee of Analysts shall present to the State Board of
Health such standard as in their judgment should be fixed.
6. Each analyst should keep a record book, in which should be entered
notes, as follows:--
(1) From whom the sample is received.
(2) Date, time and manner in which the sample was received.
(3) Marks on package, sealed or not.
(4) Results of analysis in detail.
This record should be produced at each meeting of the committee.
7. At the completion of the analysis a certificate in the form given
below should be forwarded to the person from whom the sample was
received, and a duplicate copy sent to the State Board of Health.
