Botulinus poisoning comes from bacteria

don't can low-acid vegetables any other way.
We take this opportunity to issue two
further warnings: 1. Oven canning is dan-
gerous. It has caused many serious acci-
dents to persons and to property. Shun it!
2. All nome-canned foods should be exam-

evidence of spoilage, the food should not
