Ice Crualn Victims Again.

At the South Glastonbury, Conn, May
festival in the interest of st. Luke's Epis-
copal church, over 100 persons who had
eaten ice cream were taken ill. The symp-
toms in every case were those that attend
poisoning, the sufferers being first at
tackled with vomiting and then with grip
ing pains in the stomach and convulsions.
In many instances whole families were
taken sick, while in others only few of
the members suffered from the strange
disorder. The cause of the trouble was
traced to the vanilla ice cream sold at the
festival. These who partook Of large
quantities of cream were dangerously sick.
The maker Of the cream says that, with
the exception of the favoring extract,
similar ingredients were used in the manu-
facture of other creams. No one who par
took of any other flavor except vanilla
suffered, and the coroner is Of the opinion
that the poison was in the vanilla extract
He has ordered some of it and will ana1yze
