Address: BI CHLORIDE OF GOLD INSTITUTE Ashly House, Rattray Stre^b, Dunedin, " \ report comes from the district of Wagunynh N.^.W., of a f ettler and his family exhibiting very serious sjmptotns of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sas- j pioiou fell on the tea they hsid used. A sample taken j from a one pound tiu m use was analysed and found j ' to contain strong traces of nmrtwtie; a«;irt, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'ts m weldiug the parts of tin together. The analyst 1 warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing 1 to its yery absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous 1 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 packet is quite impervious to the air, snd tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
