FOOD POISONING.
INQUEST AT HAMMERSMITH,
LONDON, June 26, At an inquest at Hammersmith, a verdict was returned that a dairyman died from food poisoning, attributed to a meal of injported mutton. Evidence was given that an analysis of the stomach revealed the bacillus aertryck, which exists cliiefly in mutton, arid sometimes in fish. The pathologist, Mr Bronte, expressed the opinion that the carcase became infected after slaughter from the air, water, soil, or a workman’s hands. The bacillus would not grow while the carcase was frozen, but the generation was probably aggravated by the heat wave. The coroner (Dr. Oswald) said that some people would perhaps be prejudiced against colonial mutton, but he considered such mutton safe, because the sheep lived in fine pastures in countries not over-populuted.— A. and N.Z. and Reuter.
