THE TRUTH O' IT Ptomaine Poisoning May "Lurk” In Lunch Baskets Says Doctor — YEA IT MAY LURK Even In The Festive Picnic Spread—An Acute Infectious Malady Dr. Hirschberg. of John Hopkins University, in the Indianapolis Star says: A wag recently suggested that since everything edible in restaurant* now adays comes from cold storage and gives you ptomaine poisoning, it might help some to enclose the hotel orchestras in ice. This would take the "din” out of the dinner and put the “rest” in restaurant. Be this, however, as it may. you hear more of ptomaine disease than you hear of hotel orchestras of the click j of the tongue over the soup spoon.j ' What you hear and read about pto | .maine poisoning is usually bosh. Even, excellent chemics and good doctors; often fail to realize that the differ■ence between ptomaine poisoning and typhoid fever is more one of degree than of any actual difference. It is picnic time. You go where the green grass grows all around, ail around. You carry along what you supposed was fresh meat, good milk and pure cream. It is torrid round about and the sun’s rays reach your fodder. You all sit down sooner or later to a jovial meal. Five or six hours later unmistakable signs of trouble appear. Some of you are nauseated and feverish, others feel fainty; some who partook of the Elysian ambrosia beneath the shade of the old apple tree are chilly, depressed, nervous and verge on collapse or even worse. Usually the panorama of protean symptoms thus possible in ptomaine poisoning is blamed upon the products of decomposed foods. Again the odium for the kaleidoscopic and explosive manifestations are laid upon the all too rapid activity of your intestines and the fermentations which occur there. Yet the truth is. that “ptomaine” dis ease is an acutely infectious malady, analagous in its gunpowder-like action to' pneumonia. In brief, it is a bacterial ailment, due not to passe chickens, defunct crab meat and polluted game, but rather to the growing, living microbes which thrive upon cold storage and stale victuals. In other words, ptomaine poisoning is no more a “poisoning” than is lockjaw or diptheria. Like them, it is due to the products and “poisons” of the germs, and not so much to the imperfectly kept milk, crabs, fish, poultry or other rations.

True enough, the same precautions must be observed as if it were the foods and not the germs that caused the trouble. It is also true that dysentery and real typnoid fever come from contaminated foods and water. Prevention, then, must aiai at the nests of growing, venomous, malignant bacteria whith make victuals their unpleasant abiding place. It is hot, tropical sun the dietary elements that were fresh and pure one hour are harbingers of mlcrobic evil the next hour. It is less the poisoned juices of the foods themselves than the fluids evolved from the germs. Plainly the food that is cold and kept best, cold storage food is often thawed out and sold with cupidity as fresh —in this season is the safest one and victuals should be kept frozen hard until they reach the palate. Ptomaine poisoning, of course, occurs all the year round. It is, nevertheless, most commonly prevalent in the summer and early fall season. These are the excursion and vacation periods into neighbornoods where ice is unknown. The box and basket lunches are the vicious sources of many a fatal assault of ptomairie distemper. Innocent milkmen, grocers, butchers and others, who have safeguarded with great eypense their well iced products, have been condemned only too often when the carried lunch was to blame. o - PUBLIC SALE.
