partnent a clipping from the China Ga

article which was evidently first printed in
the medical press and circular. as IL is
credited 10 that publication. The article
says:
Some very narrowing details are TO hand
concerning the preparation and packing, of
meat at Chicago for export. II is stated on
what appears to be good authority that the
precautions e~njoined with the object of pre-
venting the use OF flesh from animals suf-
fering from actinomycosis, that newly dis
covered and terrible fungoid disease, are
systematically set at naught by unscrupu-
lous persons. . . Even more revolving
are the details Of the preparation of 'ex-
tracts OF beef which are offered TO the
public In dainty jars, but are often made
from the sweepings and DRAWINGS of the
refuse from the canning rooms and cellars.
The tanks OF this extract of NTH are left
open and the bodies OF dead rats, In an adj
vanced state OF decomposition. are from

and nourishing compound is put IN the sars
aforesaid: No analysis or other mel md Of

antecedents of these extracts now SO large

Mr.. Fowler suggested that she Tipping

Tor such acton as he may deem pTn; er,
and adds: 1.-The animus of such ~articIes IS
not hard TO divine, for IL Is We'll known That
the market Tor American canned meats,
etc., is a large and constantly increasing
one in the Orient, consequently the demand
for the products of Europe are fest dimin-
