" A report comes from the district oi Wagunyah, N.S.W., of a settler 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 found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts m welding the parts of tin together. The analyst wares consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent naturo, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m Jead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, aDd tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' ar©TB.— KOZIE TEA is packed m lead With SB nside lining of Vegetable Parchment, £
