Beware Of Canned Beef Tongue.

Last Wednesday night the family of our
coHfrere of the Clarion, Colonel j. L.
Power, had narrow escape from poison
ing. 1t seems that can of cooked beef
tongue had been provided for luncheon for
Colonel Power and his son to take with
them on their trip North last Monday, but
was left out, and on Wednesday was
opened for the use of the family at tea.
About ten o'clock all who had partaken of
it were taken violently ill, with every
symptom of poison. DR.. Baily being sent
for, administered the necessary antidot ca.
and by Thursdav noon all of the patien is,
except Mr.. D. NJ. Wilkinson, were out of
danger, and we are glad to be able to an
nounce, as we go to press, that he also is
out of danger.
The remains of the tongue were submitted
to Dire. Buck and Lemly, who pronounced
it free OF poisonous matter, and it is sup
posed the solder on this top of the can pro-
duced the poison. We feel called upon to
warn our readers against this species Ut
food at this season of the year.
The tongue in question bears the trade
mark of Messrs. :'Libbs. McNeill and
Libbs," Chicago, Naturalization Pilot.
