A CASE of accidental poisoning from
eating canned rhubarb occurred in Bris
tol few days ago. 1t was very paltta-
BILE and INDUCED in pretty freely by all
but one in family of SIX persons. Those
who partook most largely were the soonest
relieved by vomiting. On little girl,
six years old, who had eaten only mod
erately, it acted almost Immediately
The effects upon the adult members Of
the family did not pass eff until the next
day. The rhubarb was put up IN the
usual way last summer in tin cans. 1t
is thought that the acid in the plant COM
ing in contact with the tin produced poi
son, which was the cause of the sickness.
Some persons, however, are of the opinion
that The plant Itself is poisonous at GER
tain stages of its growth. - West Chester
