Poisoning by food is no longer ex-

Of which II were In California. while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur in a great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
en-: in the food itself or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-

are typhoid fever and the various

must be added certain infections rare
