J. L. lliggs — Decorator, H < .. g - . Pj oq |a Ph w POI8OWED! " A report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.8.W., of a Fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause.'suspioion 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 acid, the presence of which is caused by the U6e of spirits of sa'ts 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 witti this acid, and therefore daDgerous for human consumption, 'and advises that the very" safest package to purchase ia that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parebment. This style of pa \t t is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packej has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' WOT X.— KOZIE TEA is packed m lead with vm nside lining of Vegetable Parchment.
