POIBOWEDI " A report comes from tbe^district of Wsgunyah N.^.W., of a tettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sns pioion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic i»rid, the presence of which is cau?ed by the use of spirits of SR'trf m welding the parts of tin together The analys warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owiug to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerout I for human consumption. an<i advises that the ver.v safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This sty c of pa ket is quite impervious to the air, and tea Bo packed has been known to retain al its aroma ao<! strength for a period of five years. 1 MOTR.—KOZIB V£A is packed m lead with at BSide lininir of VeiretoM* Parchment.
