" A. report conies from the district of Wagunyah, N.8.W., of a fottler and Ms family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening menl. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell oa the tea they had used. A sample takoa from a one pound tin in use was analysed and funnd to contain strong traces of nwriiktlc «<:iA, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of ea!ts in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, 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 in load with an inside lining of vegetable parchment Thisstjle of pa ket is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
