In searching tor the cause, sus pici on/ell on the tea they had used. A samj-.'e taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.Jd, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of so. t» m weldinK the parts of tin together. The analys warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very iibsorhent nature, is very liable to become impregnate witti this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package tv purchase; is thrit packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment This sty c of pat-Jet is quite im;n-rvious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
