which, by reaso of a few instances Of
imperfect packing, was brought into

and, henceforth, must seek other

Secretary Meredith. of the depart

the result of a thorough investigation

poisoning due to the eating of ripe
olives, said the trouble was not due to
the containers in which they were
packed but to isolated cases of made

prevent the possibility of danger to
the consumer. This increased steriliza-
