Cases Of poisoning from the use Of can
ned goods arise with sufficient frequency
to keep alive the suspicion that such food
will bear watching At least. Salmon and
other fish seem particularly productive OF
trouble after teing canned. Timed chick
en- and dried beef have recently been the
cause OF serious illness in two separated
communities. Upon examination in these
instances a germ sufficiently yirulent to
kill rats and guinea pigs was found While
it is not Necessary perhaps to be uDduly
alarmed over these isolated cases. it is well
TO observe caution and t. examine closely
the appearance and flavor Of any canned
food before using il Almost any germ is
killed in the cooking, and it is an excel
lent plan to heat thoroughly ali timed
food even If il must be cooled again before
being served Pouring boiling water over
dried beef VIII wash il and make it tender
without materially injuring its flavor. 1t
may be quickly dried in the oven.
