PTOMAINE POISONING.
AX L'XKOIi'LT'XATE PICNIC. Per Press Association. Cliristeliureh, Last Night. There was an unforeseen and unpleasant ending to a picnic of the employees of Weeks, Ltd., to Raugiora on Saturday. As a result of partaking of either pressed beef or tinned tongues, about twenty-six out uf a hundred of those attending the picnic are suffering from the effect of ptomaine poisoning. Some doubt exists as to whether the poisoning was due to the moats mentioned or to some ingredient of the salad dressing. Some of those who ate pressed beef and tinned tongues were unaffected. One person was so ill that he had to be left at Raugiora. and one railway carriage was set apart for the other sufferers, all of whom were sick on the journey from Raugiora to town. It is stated that ten eases are considered somewhat serious, though the majority are reported this afternoon to be progressing favorably.
