A jury consisting of some of the most distinguished chemists of Amer ica had returned an unanimous ver dict of “not guilty’ in the case of Knocker et al. vs. Coca—Cola. It will be remembered that some time ago a report was circulated to the effect that Coca Cola contained injurious materials and was, therefore, harm ful in its effects upon the human body. The rumor was originated by an unscrupulous competitor of Coca Co la, the popular temperance drink, spread among those who did not know the origin of the report. The jury finds that not only does Coca Cola contain nothing harmful, but that it is most superior to tea and coffee in that it is free from tan nic acid and, therefore, promotes di gestion instead of retarding it. Each of the distinguishng chemstse ported that he had made a careful chemical examination of Coca Cola and found it to contain no “dope” of any kind. If you would like to sell copies of these letters, write to the Coca Cola Co., Atlanta, Ga., for a free copy of a booklet entitled “The Truth about Coca Cola.” The jury was as follows: 1. John M. McCandless, State Chemist of Georgia. 2 . B. Ross State Chemist of Alabama. 3. Dr. A. L. Metz of Tulane Uni versity. 4. Prof. W. B. Burney of South Carolina college. Prof. C. H. Palm of Uni sity of Texas. 6. Dr. Wm. Taylor, State Chem— ist of Virginia. 7. Dr. Louis Schaefer, President Schaefer Alkaloid Works, Maywood, N. J. , Prof. Emerson R. Miller of Ala bama Polytechnic Institute, 9. Dr. J. C. Mims, Chemist of the Board of Health, New Orleans.
