a WesO Method of CANNING

The danger of poisoning from timed
meat, fish and pVeserves-a danger
which makes many people beware Of
using timed foods-has been obviated,
it is claimed, by simple invention just
patented by a man at East Aberdeen
shire. The poison in these timed
foods is caused by the imperfect clos
ing of the tins, which have hitherto
usually been sealed with solder. The
solder frequently fails to exclude air.
and thus the food decays and sets up
ptomaine poisoning. Poisoning from
ptomaine is sometimes attributed to
the use of lead. Lead has nothing to
do with it, ptomaine being purely an
animal or vegetable poison. The pat
entee has been experimenting for a
long time past with view to elimi
nate the use of solder and to find out
a more perfect way of closing the tins
used for all kinds Of meat, fish and
fruits. He has succeeded to the salts
faction of all the experts in devising
a method by which, with the aid Of
parchment inner covering, the tin be-
comes hermetically sealed. In view Of
the great number of deaths annually
ascribed to ptomaine poisoning this
invention should be a public boom
