AB To the Editor: 
    —I feel that your editorial on the question of benzoate of soda was timely and well taken. It seems to me that a test of small doses of this drug on healthy men, under hygienic surroundings, with all facilities for recreation and diversion, means little. It will not be the healthy people in good surroundings who will consume canned goods, but most frequently men, women and children in isolated localities who are wholly dependent on such forms of food, and from the latter circumstance alone it very frequently happens that one has to deal with an appetite and digestion that is not up to the standard.
