" A report comes from the district of Wagunyah N.S.W., of a pettier and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus pioion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin ia ase was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic a«i«l, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts m welding the parts of tin together. The analys 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 dangerous 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 sty c of packet 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.' BfOTB.— KOZIB ISA is packed m lead with a» nside lining of Vegetable Parchment. PRIZE EG^& for Sale at Felhaaj Yftide*
