One of the walters carried the dish TO

One OF the walters died; the other was

There Is an average Of nearly 900
deaths In the United States from food
poisoning annually, and undoubtedly In a
large percentage of instances these are
attributable to botulinus poison.
In 1919 botulism killed 10000 mules In
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. There
have been sporadic outbreaks In Ken
lucky, Illinois and other States. What
has hitherto been known rs forage poi
soning," long deemed q mysterious cause
Of wholesale mortality among horses and
mules, is undoubtedly attributable mainly
to the mcrobe here described, which
breeds In decomposed hay or straw. II
has been isolated from oat hay and from
ensilage.
The most common symptoms Of botu-
linus poisoning In human beings are ver-
tigo, difficulty In swallowing, burning
sensation In the abdomen, dimming OF
sight, and u tendency TO double vision
The nervous system is severely affected,
and death comes with failure OF the heart,
.Strychnine and such heart stimulants as
nitroglycerine are recommended, but 1t
can hardly be said that they are effec-
tive; and, though an antitoxin has been
produced, its administration has been In
no case successful.
Commenting on the discoveries In re-

spoilage and so threw them into the
garbage. The chickens ate them.
In nature the botulinus germ, In order
to develop and accomplish its life cycle,
must pass through the intestinal tract Of
a human being or other animal. There
the spore develops into the bacillus In the
absence of air just rs 1t does in jar or
can of food This being the case, and In
view of the fact that domestic animals and
oven wild animals seem generally to har-
Dor the microbe, one can easily understand
how 1t happens that soil becomes infected.
A typical outbreak of botulism among
human beings occurred not long ago at
Canton, Ohio, where about 200 people
were assembled for q banquet. Fourteen
of them showed symptoms Of poisoning
and seven Of them died, The sufferers
were all of them guests OF the hostess and
sat at a separate table--barring two wait
ers at the same table, and the chef, who
were among those affected.
Investigation showed that this was tho
only table on which one particular article
of food was served and that some of the
guests noticed something peculiar about
It's taste, odor, or consistency, rcmarking
that it "smelled like limburger," "bit the
tongue" Seemed to pucker the mouth"
was soft" etc.
OF the fourteen persons taken i'll, all ate
Of this dish. Those who died first were
the ones who ate the most. Among those
who recovered, those who suffered the
severest attacks ate more than those who
suffered less severely.

There Is not even any adequate means
Of prevention, unless preservers were TO

siderably above. boiling point. That
would certainly destroy the poison. But
some Of these products are Of such Q
nature as to be injured by high heat.
How Is that difficulty TO be surmountedf 7
Another thing. The women Of this
country within recent years have been
going In largely for home canning, which
has become an important domestic In
dustry. tn, processes they are able to
employ are not always efficient In destroy
ing the botulinus toxin. Thus 1t 10 lot
surprising TO learn that many of the re-
cent outbreaks have been traced to home
canned vegetables and fruits.
Lest the point be forgotten, Il should
he repeated that the cooking of canned
foods as performed by the everyday
housewife Is not always adequate for the
destruction Of the poison, II any he pres
ent. She may empty can OF peas into
her skillet and stir them bit on the fire,
yet part of them may not actually be
heated to the boiling point before they
are tInpbltu tftt utSH lOi StENiHk.
Nevertheless, there are means whereby
the housewife may guard herself and her
family against the danger, and these will
presently be explained. But In the mean
time It will be as well to tell something
about the cause of the mischief which has
only recently come to be definitely known,
though cases of botulism have been re-
ported from time to time for nearly two
centuries past.
The cause is bacillus, tiny rod
shaped organism which occurs In soil

locally, In one place or another. II
propngates itself by means of "spores,"
which, ordinarily are harmless. The reader
of this page has doubtless swallowed
plenty lof them. We have taken them In
with our food. Our hands are not always
clean, and We are constantly putting our
fingers to our mouths.
II, however, the spores happen to get

A great many people have died of II. Yet
it is no new thing. Severe recent outbreaks
traced in several instances to the eating
of preserved fruits, vegetables and meats
have called attention to the matter.
Science has newly gained some definite
knowledge on the subject; and II has
come almost suddenly to be realized that
many of the deaths hitherto attributed to
ptomaine poisoning have been really due
to botulism.
We are putting up this deadly poison
in cans and glass jars. II sometimes
comes into our households in such contain
ers.c The only reason why consumers of
such preserved food are not killed by
thousands annually is that the toxin is
destroyed by heat. Thus contsiner Of
string beans, for instance, though holding
enough of it to wipe out dozens of fam
harmless conditions, having been cooked.
Not. only in America, but in other parts
of-thc world, there has been recent
awakening to the dangers of this desper-
ately fatal food poison. There have been
many. epidemics in Europe and the
medical press in England has recently
been, much stirred by an unfortunate end
ing Of happy hunting party at the
Scotcb Highlands. This was at Loeb
Maree where sandwiches were made from
a little can of potted wild duck. Eight
people ate these sandwiches, and the eight
people ded-a startling 100 per cent
fatality.
II. must not be supposed that canned
foodNuffs commonly or even often con-
tain the poison. But every now and then
IL happens that they do. The reason for
tho,.sutbrcaks caused recently by canned
friit.r or meats lies in the fact Chat
usually they are not cooked btforr being

There is no remedy known foy botulinus
poiso~inE. There is no antdote. No
method of treatment seems 10 be in the
least effective. The victims sometimes
recover; more often they die. In some
epiderhics during the lat few years the
mortality has been 100 per cent.
