Shaw of Joliet, Ills. surgeon Of the
Third Illinois volunteers, testified be.
fore the army beef inquiry court that
on the voyage from Newport News to
Porto Rico canned roast beef was issued
and there was a great deal Of complaint
about il. IT was stringy, PUPPY and
nauseating and did not seem to nourisb
the men. Much diarrhoea followed the
use Of it. The witness attri buted the
sickness to ptomaine poisoning. He be-
ieved ptom aine would develop in the
hot'sun in Ave or six minutes after d
can was opened. The meat was not
cooked and was eaten raw, as were some
canned tomatoes, which also were a
cause Of the .diarrhoea. IF the meat
were properly sterilized n ptomaines
would not develop.

While in Porto Rico the matter 81

We saw what was issued, and took
it because we could not get anything
else. We had canned roast beef nearly
all the while, and the men refused to
eat it. It was used in different ways
cooked with vegetables and hard tack.
