production.
The family of William Flanders, con-
sisting of six persons, was badly injured
or poisoned last week, by eating cheese
which was purchased of Edison Tracy
of Bloomington. The family partook of
the cheese at supper time, and each soon
began to vomit, and grew dangerously
sick. DR.. Wright was called and rem
dered such assistance as to relieve the
patients before morning. Mr.. Tracy
claims to know of nothing about the
cheese that should cause such results.
One of the same cheese was sold in New
port recently, and family was made
sick by it.
