' * " X report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.S.W., of a fettler aud his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on tho tea they had iised. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.Ul, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'ts m welding the parts of tin together. Ihe analyst warns consumers that tea packed m email tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the vary safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment, This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain, all its aroma and | strength for a period of live years.' irOTB.— KOZIB TEA is packed iv lead Wltblan f aside lining of Vegetable Farchmeiit,
