Slow Poison

Slow Poison.—Prof. Otto Folin, of Harvard Medical School, seriously questions whether preservatives in food do not slowly poison those who use them, and so shorten life. These antiseptics, he contends, have never been truly tested. What is worse, some of them that are cheap are liberally used "in preparing food products for the market from materials already so decayed as to be unsalable in their original condition." It is a word of warning worth heeding.
