ADULTERATED FOODS
TO TUB EDITOB 0» TBI PRESR. Sir, —It was with the greatest interest that I perused the letter from "Pure Food" in your issue of Saturday last. Some months ago I was a very sick man, and when almost round the corner, was allowed tripe. It has always been a favourite dish of mine, but try as I would, this beautiful white tripe simply revolted me, not once but several times. Now I know the reason, and I sincerely trust that if the obnoxious practice of using a bleaching powder continues in Christchurch, every guilty butcher will know that there is a law. I sincerely trust also that the correspondence has caught the eye of the Medical Officer ofHealth. —Yours, etc., HEALTH.
September 19, 1938. ["The correspondent's duty is to furnish me with the name and address of the butcher from whom he bought the tripe," said Dr. T. Fletcher Telford, Medical Officer of Health, yesterday When he saw this letter. His department would then take the matter up with the butcher. The latter, he said, might have been using sodium perborate for bleaching, which was prohibited.]
