" A report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.u.W., of a settler and his family exhibitiug very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the canse, sus picion fell on the tea they had nsed. A sample taken ' from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ixr.iti, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of eats m welding the parts of tin together. The 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 daDgerous 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 kii is qaite impervious to the air, aud tea so packet! has been known to retain al its aroma and strengkh for a period of five years.'
