Warning Against Dangers of Pto- maine Poisoning. Medical authorities are warning against ptomaine poisoning during © summer months. The common- est form of meat poisoning, called | Ptomaine, is due to eating the meat : animals, It is im sible to detect the poisonous - teria without bacteriological ex- (amination, owing to the fact that they do not cause putrefaction, In greater majority of cases cook- ing renders this meat harmless, but are cases on record where the bac- teria have survived, causing illness and death, : Summer ptomaine or meat poison- ing is the most common form of the disease. Owing to the increased temperature the bacteria increase rapidly, and the only remedy is to particular care in keeping meats. Take proper care of the refrigera- tor and the refrigerator will take proper care of the meat, say health authorities, Warning is: given I|against badly constructed ice chests." For every housewife the following "dont's" are given : Don't keep meat in the refrigera- tor unless it is properly iced. Don't omit to clean the refrigera- tor frequently, using a strong hot solution, Don't use meat unless it is abso- lutely fresh; never attempt to freshen it by washing with salt, soda, ete, Don't buy chopped meats or sau- sage unless absolutely sure that it is fresh. Finally, don't buy from any but- cher unless sure that his meats are fresh and handled in a sanitary manner. Symptoms of ptomaine resulting from eating bad meats are given as beginning with vomitting, severe abdominal' pains, diarrhoea, fever and prostration, oftentimes result- ing in death. Canned foodstuffs are more uni- versally used in summer than at any time of the year, and especial warning is given against using them unless absolutely sure that the con- tents are good, ; Phe form of poisoning from bad canned, goods is known as "botul- ism"_ or "sausage poisoning," 'and is very deadly, with a mortality rate of 50 per cent. The microbes caus- ing this thrive in the absence of air and ~ multiply rapidly in canned goods, sausages, etc. Symptoms of the disease are partial or total par- alysis, double vision, painful swal- lowing, loss of voice and interfer- ence with heart and respiration. With care in buying canned goods there is no danger of this virulent poisoning. It usually hap- pens that the steam sterilization, which is part of the canning pro- | cess, kills all microbes, but now and then, owing to carelessness or the canni inery not working | properly, a féw cans will reach the market containing living microbes. These multiply form gas, { ushes up the top of the can in a 1 Ingratitude. than work ! ere 1s a certain quan- ty of air left in She lings slwags~ what - physiologists "call 'residual The air in time becomes foul and affects the blood, and through the blood the nervous centres.

Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtherias Tremendous Ice Mass, The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland, where it has accumu- lated since before the dawn of his- tory. It is believed to form a block 600,000 square miles in area, and to average a mile and a half in thick- ness. According to these statistics the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean; and there is enough of it to cover the United Kingdom of Great Britain' and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick.
