_POI»Oj*J--JD! " A report comes from the district of Wagutiyall, N.^.W., of a fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of 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 m use was analysed and fonno to contain strong traces of muriatic acH»> tn» presence of which is caused by the nse of spirits ot sa ts m welding the parts o£ tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tsa packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent uatura, is very liable to becoma 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 style of pa kit is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' HOTC-KOZIB TEA is packed m lead wit-|fA eside lining of Vegetable Parchment. TANCRED STRFET PAPERHANGING WAREHOUSE.r I . (Established 1876.) C CHAPMAN l I HOUSE DECOR ATOB.
