PROF. HOWARD, of the State University,
has analysed the cheese which recently
caused the sickness of a number of people
at Cambridge. Some thirty persons ate
of the cheese, but only half this number
were affected. The sickness was attribu-
ted to tyrotoxicon, but this theory is ex-
ploded by the report of Prof. Howard. filed
with Secretary Probst, of the State Board
of Health. In this it Is stated that the
sickness was not due to the presence of
tyrotoxicon, since no trace of this poison
was found in the six pounds of cheese an
alyzed. The cheese was subjected to
chemical analysis after the method of
Prof. Vaughn, of Michigan, and has clearly
demonstrated that there is other poisonous
substance in cheese than what is known to
scientists as tyrotoxicon, which has not
yet been discovered.
