District Agent, Ashbnrton POISONED! " \ report comes from the district of Wagunyah N.8.W., of a settler and his 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 in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic acid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirit* of salts in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to itd very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the —nr safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is qnite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of fire yean' itaTK.— KOZIB HA is packed in Iwd with as nside lining of Vegetable Parchment.
