POI8OINED! " A. report comes from the district of Waguuyah N.S.W., of a Fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening moil. Iv searching for tho cause, sus pioiou fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a .one pound tin iv use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic a«i«l, the presence of which is caused by tho use of spirits of sa tH m woldiupr tbo parts of tin together. The analyst warnß eonsuniorg that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent uaturo, is very liable to become < impregnated with this ncid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an insido lining of vegetable parchment. Thisst}l of pa ket is quite impervious to the air, and tea sa packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years." WOT E.— KOZIB TEA is packed m lead with an nslde lining of Vegetable Parchment. I have been a sufferer from chronic diar- rhoea ever since the war and have used all kinda of medicines for it. At lasb I found one remedy that has been a aucoeeo as a oure, and that is Chamberlain's Oolio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.— P, B. Grisham, Gaars Mills, La* For sale by AsHßuaioir Dauq
