found to give of virulent poison or toxin
when the bacillus was grown in suitable
media. It was then believed that the
botulinus bacillus confined its abode to
sausages and other pork products, but sub
sequent investigations have proved that It
has extended its poisonous influence to a
great many other foodstuffs, and especially
those packed in alright containers

ply freely. but they speculate, rendering
them much more difficult to kill. Spor1ila-
ton is the formation Of a resistent shell
over an organism which affords greater

The botulism victim presents picture

poison as It progresses through the sys.

enced
All of the Detroit cases developed in Q
typical manner. That is to say, the symp-
toms did not begin to make their appear
ance until about twenty-four hours after
the olives had been consumed. As rule
the first symptoms are manifest in from
eighteen to twenty-four hours and often
times they may not appear for two or
three days.
The symptoms of botulism differ from
those of other types Of food poisoning In
that there are usually no disturbances
such as gastric distress, nausea and diar-
rhoea. which are typical of the various gas
tro-intestinal disorders.
The earliest symptom of botulism is an
indefinite sort Of fatigue often accom-
panied by heaache. dizziness and muscu-
lar weakness. Constipation il almost al
ways experienced and there IL great resist
ance to all efforts to induce evacuation OF
the bowels.
Disturbances Of the vision present them
selves early. Double vision, cloudy vision
ana difficulties In accommodation for near
Vision are among the characteristic signs.
~ 10 usually these visual phenomena when

swallow. Attacks Of strangling are often
brought about by efforts to swallow and
these, II not fatal in themselves, may bring
the victim to state of complete exhaus
ton.
One of the most striking features is the
extreme muscular weakness. Weakness in
the arms and legs is first experienced and
later becomes so pronounced that one is
unable to raise arms or legs from the bed
This condition sometimes closely re-
sembles paralysis.
While there may be an initial headache
or some pain in the region of the stomach
1t is unusual for the victim to suffer any
pain whatever. He IL more or less apa-
thetic and apparently in semicomatose
condition.
The heart action IL almost always ex.
tremely rapid and the temperature re-
mains subnormal. Death usually occurs
from cardiac or respiratory failure and
sometimes from strangling after an At
tempt to swallow food or drink.
The duration Of the illness varies. Death
may occur within forty-eight hours, but
ordinarily It is considerably later. In the
majority Of cases the victims have died

ut is q point of considerable importance
that foodstuffs which are contaminated
with the toxin of bacillus botulinus may
not appear sufficiently spoiled to insure
their being discarded. Tho vegetables
usually have an unpleasant odor and may
show bubbles of gas on the surface, but
they are not apt to he discolored or soft.
and may even appear to be especially we'll

ut should be thoroughly understood that
IN extremely virulent toxin may produce

food, and the common practise Of tasting

fore, has no conception of the Importance
of sterilization. He asserts: with the
older method Of preserving with sugar the
danger was not so great as 1t is probable
that even a moderate amount Of sugar in
hibits the development Of the toxin, but in
the process Of canning without sugar the
greatest care is necessary to insure that.
all bacteria and spores are destroyed"
An investigation by the New York
Health Department into the methods used
in canning and bottling ripe olives reveals
that practically all Of the olives which are
handled by canning concerns in New York
are of the imported variety and these come
into the country packed IN . 20 per
cent solution Of salt and are repacked or
bottled without any appreciable reduction
Of the salt content. This is more than
sufficiently saline to prevent the growth Of
the botulinus bacillus or the exudinG Of
its toxin.
All authorities agree that the growth
OF the Dac1lIus ID inniDited IN tne preeenco
Of six per cent solution Of sodium chlor
ide common SALTY and 1t is pointed ont
that this fact is of considerable economic
importance, as meats which are picked
in brine which contains more than SIX
per cent sodium chloride will mot become
contaminated with the toxin.
The olives which caused the death Of
the Ave persons in Detroit were ripe
olives which had been grown in California
and packed by q canning concern IN the
same State In eighteen-ounce bottles.
In the absence Of an official opinion
from the Detroit health authorities q to
how the olives became contaminated with
the toxin the only conclusion ID the obvf
Gus one that the solution which vas unad
in the bottling process was Of strengtA
OF less than six per cent, and thus NJ
