In searching for the cause, sus> piaion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tia m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic «»rirt, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa tn m welding the parts of tin together; Ihe analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with, this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advisas that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment Thisstjle of pa ktt is=quite impervious to the air, aDd tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years."

These crude oila, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. _ By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
