CREOsOTRD WHITE FISH.



Chicago Fish Dealers.
From the Chicago Inter I0ceanl
Within the past ten days two cases Of pol
souing have been reported In the daily press,
which were occasioncd by the eating Of
smoked fish. Similar cases have recently &C.
Cured In Eastern cities, and In Pittsburg the
eating of smoked FISH has Of late been at
tended with so many bad results that public
attention was attracted to the matter, and an
investigation ordered by the board of health.
A careful analysis Of the so-called smoked
fish developed tho fact that the fish had not
been smoked at oil, but had been treated with
excessive quantities OF liquid creosote, to
which circumstance the poisoning was attrib-
utable. 1t is a noteworthy fact that the cases
OF sickness which have been reported have
all followed the eating Of the fresh water va
rieties principally white hsh. i
1t was ascertained that q large number OF
the nsh dealers Of the country use creosote or
carbolic acid as preservatiyes. A number OF
prominent medical men, who were asked
whether or not these preserving qualities
could be safely employed, stated that both
substances were very useful In the curing OF
meat Of all kinds, but their employment ne
| cessitated great care, as large quantities
were sure to produce deleterious results, A
few medical gentlemen were opposed TO tho
use even In small quantities, Of these sub
stances, believing them TO be poisonous In
their nature, and iTritants which should not
be introduced into the system. II was gen.
orally thought that the strongest objection to
these prcbcrvatlycs Is not so much that they
are dangerous In themselves as that they dis
