POIBOINEDI " A report comes from the district of Wagunyah N.S.W., of a pettier and bis family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin ia use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts m welding the parts of tin together. The analys warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent naturo t is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This sty c of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' HTOTK.--KOZIB "jIEA is packed m lead with an aside lining of Vegetable Parchment. PRIZE EG for Sale at Pelham Yards* j
