United States Consul Praises Food Law in France
United States Consul Dominic I. Murphy at Bordeaux reports the pure food law has not hindered foreign trade and may have boosted respect for foreign labels. He cites rises in value of French food exports to the United States in 1907 including pasta, jams, olive oil, preserved fruits and vegetables, and wines, while noting declines in brandy and preserved fish due to other factors. He attributes some decreases to fisheries issues and regulatory limits on certain liquors. Also includes a consumer testimonial for Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Chamberlain's Pain Balm with brief uses and prices.
