Food Poisoning

Last week we discussed recent
deaths caused by food poisoning, and
the different kinds of food poison. DR..
Victor Burke, head of the bacteria.
logy department of the State college
of Washington, told us some "whys
and wherefores" in that connection.
He has some more interesting things
to say on this important subject to US
today.
"The organism causing botulism
Ia poisoning you remember, caused
by the formation of a toxin from the
growth of the bacillus botulinus) may
be present on any u~npreserved fruit
or vegetables, or meat. There is no.
thing to indicate its presence. 1t is
more likely to be found on foods
ripe or on the verge of spelling. Such
foods should be discarded not preserv-
ed to save them as is often done. Only
fresh, whole fruits and vegetables
should be preserved, and those only
after thorough washing.
"Flies and other insects may con-
vey the organism, and should be kept
off foods to be preserved. If these
precautions are observed, there is less
chance of the botulism organism get
ting into the preserving jars. If they
do get in, ordinary methods of heating
can not be depended on to kill them.
And if they are not killed they will
grow and the food be poisoned.
when serving preserved food the
cook should examine it carefully for
spoilage, indicated by the presence of
gas, an unusual ~softening of the food
particles, or rancid odor not charact-
eristic of that particular kind of food.
In glass pars the gas bubbles can be
seen rising TO the top Dr. caught in
the contents. A softening of the part
icles is indicated by a loss of shops
and a settling of fine particles to the
bottom. In tin can the gas causes
the ends of the cans to bulge outward.
Puncturing such cans, you can hear
the gas escape.
Presence Of spoilage does not in
dictate that the food is poisonous, for
there ara many kinds Of spoiisge.

One of the dead chickens from
Mrs. Els. flock and a jar of the as
paragus were sent to the college Ia
ooratory for examination. Botulinus
bacillus was found in the chicken. and
the asparagus juice contained a very
strong botulinus toxin.
There will continue to be outbreaks
OF botulism poisoning so long as peo-
pie eat spoiled food"
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-04-30

Most organisms producing spoilage do
not produce a poison. But ALL spoiled
0 0 MAY be poisonous and should be
discarded. Unless thoroughly cooked
It should not be thrown to the chick
ems. Cooking destroys the toxin but
not the bacillus botulinus organisms.
Eating these organisms does not cause
disease, but eating the toxin usually
results in death.
preserved foods may be in the
nrst stages of decomposition and con
tain enough toxin to cause death.
without showing any sign that the
eye or nose can detect. Therefore all
preserved foods should be thoroughly
cooked before eaten unless the can
nlng process is known to be safe. NO
home canning process is above suspic-
ion. The improved methods in use
not in large commercial conneries are
believed safe but future botulism out.
breaks may indicate that no method is
absolutely safe.
DO NOT TASTE preserved food
to see if it is good to eat. The habit
OF doing SO has resulted in a number
OF deaths from botulism. The toxin is
SO powerful that a drop on the end of
the tongue may death.
IF a jar of home canned food is
suspected, boil it thoroughly half an
hour before tasting it. Or better, dis
card it IL there are any signs of de-
composition the food should not be
eaten. If a can of commercial produce
IS under suspicion, return it to the
store and ask for another. The Ma
tlonal Gamers association would ra-
Their give away $4,000 than have an
outbreak of botulism from a COM
merclally canned product. The few
outbreaks of botulism following the
eating of commercially canned prod
ucts have resulted in the loss of mil
lions of dollars to producers and IAN.
ners.
The Walla Walla outbreak showed
how NOT to deal with spoiled food.
Mrs. E.prepared q jar of home can
ned, cold-packed asparagus for sup
Per. She had temporarily lost her
sense of smell and did not detect the
peculiar odor of botulinus decomposi-
When the food was warmed up
the odor in the room was so notice
Mrs. Els son and daughter smell
led it. In spite of this, the asparagus
was put on the table. Mrs. E. ate
part of a stalk to see if it was good.
The son ate a whole stalk. The
laughter refused to touch it. AS It
appeared to be spoiled, the rest of the
asparagus was thrown to the chickens.
Next morning a number of the chick
ems were sick or dead. A few days
later Mrs. E. became i'll, and died with
symptoms of botulism. The son de-
Eeloped no symptoms, though he had
more than his mother. This
may be explained by the s%upposition
the stalk he ate had been heated
enough to kill the toxin, while what
Mrs. E. ate, in another part of the
dish, was exposed to less heat. It

5rate to the interior of a mass of food.

point is reached.
Instantaneous exposure of botuli-
nus toxin to a boiling temperature

safe to eat Sufficient time must be

A Resume o. Hoo Cholera
Work In Maryland In 1913,

The following is more or less a sum-
mary of the report presented by DR.. l.
K. Atherton. VINO is Inspector In charge
of hog cholera work Ia Maryland. We
feel immensely pleased TO note that
whereas practically every state in the
Union reported an increase In hog
cholera during tho year 1923, Mary
land had full 10 per cent decrease
over 1922. Another encouraging lea
ture was that there was decrease OF
81 per cent in the number OF secondary
outbreaks.
During 1928 the feeding of garbage,
table refuse, and kitchen swill contain
ing infected pork was responsible for
"a per cent OF the new outbreaks where
history could be obtsined regarding
the source Of the primary injection.
In 59T OF the outbreaks there was no
spread of the infection, and in only .
cases was there any spread of the in
lection after two weeks had elapsed
from the time the authorities were no.
tilted of the outbreak, and in these in
stances there was delay in the report
being made. Il is estimated that hog
cholera appeared on nine-tenths Of
per cent OF the farms in Maryland du-
ring 1923. The loss suffered from the
disease for the entire state was APP
proximately 1850 hogs on II per cent
OF the number estimated to be on the
farms in Maryland January !, 1923.
Certainly the above information
would indicate that those In charge OF
hog cholera prevention work have
been very efficient in their work, and
that the farmers in Maryland are CO.
operating to a greater extent year by
year. However, glance at the work
in Charles county makes us wonder
whether every Thing is being done that
can be done. During the years 1870,
1921 and 1922 there we're only out
breaks in Charles each year. During
1923, however, there were y outbreaks,
Charles county ranking 9Th in the list
OF counties having the greatest Number
of outbreaks.
We wish to assure the farmers OF
Charles county that the authorities in
charge OF hog cholera work are ready
10 play their part and that the County
Agent will be glad TO cooperate and
assist in every way possible in reduc-
ing the hog cholera losses In Charles.
We should not overlook the fact that
the feeding of garbage, table refuse
and kitchen swill, containing infected
pork was responsible for 81 per cent of
the new outbreaks. Also let US not
forget that the only way to prevent the
spread of cholera and to hold the
losses down 10 minimum is to notify
the authorities Immediately when you
have sick hogs. The quickest way TO
get In touch with the authorities is by
notifying your County Agent. Let us
all work together to further decrease
the losses from hog cholera during
1924.

County Agent.

In sad, but loving remembrance OF
my brother, ALEXANDER MURPHY,
who departed this life May I6, 1923,
aged AZ years.
Dear brother, you we're called from
us so sudden-not time to say good
bye. Gently we're your arms folded
when death came and said farewell.
You were called from us so sudden;
Gone In the best of your days;
Gone from your loved ones
10 sleep in quiet, lonely grave.
In the graveyard of Durham Parish,
Where your body was tenderly laid,
Some one will linger around the spot
Where peace with Gods been made
No one knows my feelings,
Few have seen me weep;
| shed my tears from an aching heart
While others are asleep.
Sleep on dear brother
And take your rest;
We needed you here on earth,
But God needed you best.
He had cause in calling you which
we shall never know,
No one knows the sorrows that w
bore,
But God knew best in calling you
10 bright and happy shore.
AS stood by his dying bed, no on,
knew my feelings and heartaches, bu
I knew my dear brothers peace Will
God would soon be made forever.
A cheerful smile and a wave of tn,
| hand,
knew he would soon be gone TO al
unbroken land;
Think of him and the sorrow he bore;
He is not dead-just gone before.
Loved in life; in death remembered,
By his loving brother,
J. F. MURPHY,
and his brothers. wife,
MRS j. F. MURPHY.
