THOSE CREAM PUFFs AGAIN-Dr. Verdi,
president the ROlrd Health has
the following from Commissioner LIE Due oil
The Agricultural department: Z" In accordance
with your request. of the 9TH instant, have
directei that a chemical examination be
made Of he specimens of cream pQffS, for the
purpose 81 determining whether they con-
famed any metallic poison. Such examination
fails to show any trace of either of the metal
lie pOiSOlS.'
After receiving that, DIR. Verdi called upon
the cher iSt n the department and stated that
he considered this an incomplete and unsatis-
factory examination of the puffs, as they
might contain organic pOiSODS, while the eX-
animation had been only conducted in search
OF metallic pCi>Ons. The chemist replied that
he thought he was only requested 10 make an
EXAMINATION il search of metallic pOisOnS.
DIR. Verdi said that such was not the impress
sion Intended tn be conveyed by the request
Tor All examination. The request was that the
chemist J AXE an analysis Of 'puffS strongly
suspected Of containing metallic poison. 1t
was not tho lght that the expressed suspicion
would cCntiue the search TO metallic poison,
but that thorough examination would
l.
il would Iake .ome time to make an analysis
i'll search OF organic poison. and. besides, Com
misSiohar lie Due would have 10 order such
eYamina ION before it could be made.
DIR. Verdi called on the Commissioner who
has.directtd the chemist tO make thorough
analyst Of he famed putfs, for pOisOn-me-
tallic, organic or otherwise. 1t will be some
time before this examination is completed.
Mr.. Freund has, since the chemist entered
