Pearl or Ptomaine.

Some people discover pearls in their
oysters where others get nothing but
ptomaine. The last pearl-fnder is Po
lice Lieutenant John Turley, who
sent out for a sandwich and found a
pea-sized jewel of great price. One
doesn't hear so much of the ptomaine,
poisoning cases. as they do not go
down on police blotters. but at the
hospitals the oyster still holds the
record as producing more cases of
this interesting disease than any 9th

of the oyster as the condition of the
oyster.eater that makes the trouble.
Six persons will partake of the same
batch at the same table and one will

dred feet out of the plain and covers
