Suspicion was directed to some highly colored candy that was said to have been eaten by the children, but thereJwas no proof that the candy contained any mercury, and the attending attend-ing physician stated that the condition of the children indicated that the illness ill-ness was caused by poisoning with that substance. The New York World recently made a very searching investigation on the subject of the probability of deaths from candy poisoning, and the report of the result is very interesting as well as important to the trade in confectionery confec-tionery and' the public generally. It was proved that stringent laws against putting injurious substances in candy and the Hearty cooperation of the manufacturers of the sweets has proved a safeguard - against the danger dan-ger that is so much feared and that is almost entirely imaginary.
