TAINAKLE FROM ALL GROCKRf POI8OWED! 11 *V report comes from the district of Waguoyak N.^.W., of a settler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o tlieir evening meal. In searching for the cause, sns pfoion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tia in nee was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic iir)«l, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa ta in weldiug the parts of tin together The analys warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to Its very absorbent nature, Is very liable to become impregnated wit!) this acid, and therefore dangerous for buroau consumption, and advises that the very safest pack nfre to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This sty c of i»';k't is quite impervious to tho air, and tea bo packed has been known to retain al its arotna aiK? strength for a period of five years.'
