/ We have heard of several parties be
ing made severely sick from eating froz
en- oranges, in the past few days. Elk
perts say the element of poison containe'
in the peeling is driven into the orang
by freezing, and a sufficient quantity c
the frozen fruit could be eaten to Pre-
duce death. The poison brings ON a ST

who have suffered from it have no d,
sire to repeat the experiment., and a
can not be too careful and eat the fru
, only in small quantities. T. isaoJ !. 2-i1'i .
