| Summary | "Deadly Adulteration and Slow Poisoning Unmasked" by Anonymous is a scientific treatise written in the early 19th century. The book exposes the widespread fraudulent practices in food and drink preparation, detailing how various common items like wines, spirits, beer, and even medicines are adulterated, thus posing severe health risks to the public. The author aims to unveil the nefarious methods employed by merchants and dealers who prioritize profit over consumer safety. The opening of the book presents the author's address to the reader, where he expresses his determination to reveal the shocking extent of food adulteration. He discusses the dangers posed by other professions, such as bakers and grocers, emphasizing how everyday consumption is rife with harmful substances due to unscrupulous trade practices. Additionally, he critiques the legal system's failure to adequately address these crimes, suggesting that genuine public health must take precedence over profit. The introduction sets the tone for a comprehensive investigation into the deceitful tactics used in the food industry, aimed at awakening public awareness and instigating reform.
