BUTCHERS MEAr.-An interesting light

RUTcHgRs' MEAT.-An interesting lignf,
cave the pail Mall Gazette, is thrown on the
,nav stories of the slaughter-house by 8 memo.
sr;sl inst presented by DR.. Yield, medical
officer of health for Sunderland, to the health
committee of that town, against the "bloW-
inc and shifting of meats" The practice OF
q Flowing is described as follows: /" A tube
or pine is thrust under the skin OF the meat,
and the butcher or dresser then blows the
foul air from his own lungs into the cellular
tissue of the meat, the effect being that de-
centiye appearance OF plumpness or fatness
Is given to the meat, and in many cases IL
becomes tainted with the scent OF rum, to-
bacco, &C."
This is pleasant for meat consumers, ana
where ignorance is bliss it is perhaps folly to
be wise; and now that public attention has
been called to the "blowing" practice, it
might perhaps be as well for butchers so far
TO meet the wishes of the fastidious as to use
a pair of bellows for the purpose of giving a
graceful embonpotnt to the carcases OF AMI
mails thew kill. Even for their own sakes
they will act prudently by discontlnuing inc
use of their lungs in the process. DR.. Ield
also protests against the practice OF artlh'
cially stuffing tue loins or other parts OF the
animal with lat so rs to give false appear
ance Of corpulence.
AS remedy he suggests the imposition OF
q penalty for every such offence OF twenty
sbilIings for the first, and forty shilllngs Tor
each subsequent conviction. His suggestions
were adopted unanimously by the Heaith
Committee at Sunderland, and it is to pc
hoped that not only in that town but else
where artificial fairness will at least be pro-
duced by less disagreeable means than those
mentioned by DR.. Yield:
