To the Editor, Tribune, Morris, MINI.
Sir
saw in your Sept. 23rd issue that
Mr.. John Wilson was made i'll by
partaking of food in which poisonous
ptomaines had developed. 1t is GER
tainly appalling to learn how rapidly
ptomaine poisoning cases have increas-
ed since the enforcement of the Pure
Food Law. According to press dis
patches there have been in the United
States, since the enforcement of this
law, 21. 449 cases of ptomaine poison
ing, 81 of which were fatal. Prior
to the enactment of the Pure Food
Law borax and boron compounds were
used on meat, fish. fowl, sausage. oy-
sters. etc.. consequently such food
which readily becomes contaminated,
was kept in an hygienic, healthful
condition. ......
The Pure Food Law compels truth
full labels on all packages which con-
tain food. A truthful label, however,
upon meat. fish. fowl. sausage. oyster
etc. will not prevent them from spoil
ing, so that conditions are favorable
for the propagation of poisonous
germs. Thus. while the Pure Food |
Law compels truthful labels, it does
not, on account of prohibiting preser-
7atives. insure that food will reach |
