In searching for the cause, sus picion iell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one poand tin in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.irt, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of Baits in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in anall tins, owing to Its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become Impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption aud advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment This sfcj le of pa ket is quite impervious to the air. and tsu bo packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
