POI8O1NED! " h report conies from the district of Wagunyab, N.8.W., of a Fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, su - pision fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one ponnd tin in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'to in weldiug the parts of tin together- The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advise3 that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead w;th an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This stj le of packet is quite impervious to the air, aDd tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years."

Eat, Drink, and be Merby. — That is all i very well, and nc doubt, in moderation, eating, drinkirp, and merriment are very good things. But can any one of us — even the best of us — trust himself to be invariably moderate ? No, indeed i We are all apt at times to go jusb a little beyond the mark, and then come headaches and regrets. At : such times we appreciate a friend — one who will stand by us and put ub right ; and such a friend we invariably find in Holloway's Pills. They did not fail our fathers at similar crises, and they do not fail ua. It in no fiction, bub a well-known fact, that Holloway's Pills are a certain cure for headaches, biliousness, and all other troubles— (Advt.) SYNOPSIS OF NEW ADVEBTISEMENTS.
