“Death in the Pot”

It is not in ancient times alone that death is found in the pot in which is cooked food. It is not an infrequent thing nowadays. A lady writes us from the North giving an account of the purchase of a piece of beef and what looked to be a healthy beef liver. On washing it she discovered that it contained various hard lumps. The ducts of the liver and the lumps were incased in calcareous coatings, and the lumps exuded a gray pus. The liver was not cooked, but given to the dog, which shortly began to cough. The cough continued for two weeks, and then ceased; but the dog broke out with sores, and became so bad that it was killed. The lumps were probably of a tuberculous character. Our correspondent feels there is better food than flesh meats; and there is, in great abundance—better in every way.
