'* A report comes from the district ol Wagunyah N.S.W., of a settler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sa* pioiqn fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin is use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic »*^*' tbe presence of which is caused bv the use of spirits of Baits in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins owing to its very absorbent naturo, 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 in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, aod tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' ar©TK.— KOZIE IZA is packed in toad With an aside linmg[of Vegetable Parchment.
