Tiro Victorian Government analyst has been asked (says the Colao Reformer) for Ins opinion aa to whether rabbits destroyed by poisoning with phosphoriaed oats are unfit for consumption ns human food. The reply given is to the clloot that no danger need he apprehended from this source, as the poison swallowed by the rabbits evaporates as soon aa the bodies are opened. Wo have, adds the “ Reformer,” frequently shown that the danger to the public from this source is imaginary, but the real safety of tbe rabbit consumer lies in the fact that no one could possibly swallow a morsel of what may bo called “phosphorised rabbit” ci on if bent noon suicide, and that the accidental use of an animal so poisoned as food is quite out of the question.
