any portion of a substance unfit for food, whether manufac-
tured or not, or any animal or vegetable substance produced,
stored, transferred or kept in a condition which would render
the article diseased, contaminated or unwholesome, or if it is
the product of a diseased animal or one that has died otherwise
than by slaughter, or that has been fed upon the offal from a
slaughter-house, or if it is the milk from an animal fed upon
substances unfit for food for dairy animals, or from an animal
kept and milked in a filthy or contaminated stable, or in sur-
roundings that would render the milk contaminated.

constituents from the composition or constituents of the water
taken from the spring, well or other original source, or alleged
original source, from which such water is obtained or alleged
to be obtained, unless the changes therein or additions thereto
be plainly indicated upon the label; provided, that in the case
of waters manufactured to resemble natural mineral waters,
such waters must be labeled in a conspicuous manner "Arti-
ficial"; and provided further, that when such waters are
sold or served as mineral waters, they must contain one or
more mineral constituents in sufficient quantities to have a
therapeutic effect from these constituents when a reasonable
quantity of the water is consumed.

water, spring, well or mineral water, it shows contamination.
