"I'm glad you read me that, Bill, for that is just the sort of thing I mean to eradicate from your system. It's like a disease, this aestheticism of yours it's the Culture Ptomaine." "Now, hold on, Dumpling Dear, do you know a culture from a ptomaine?"
Godwin may have died of poisoning, probably did. But it was ptomaine poisoning. The blown cans which I have discovered would indicate that." I was following him closely, yet though this seemed to explain a part of the case, it was far from explaining all. "Then followed," he hurried on, "the development of the usual ptomaines in the body itself.
"That's the devil of it! Why couldn't the silly thing have had a decent bit of ptomaine poisoning instead of this foolish earache. But, it's more than an earache! The bally ear has been stung or something anything bite you, Polly?" "Yes, sir, a wasp." "She says a wathp!" exclaimed Warble. "Oh, Bill, it may mean blood poisoning!" "Yes, that's true it is the ear will have to come off.
The official figures are: 266 killed by falling walls, 177 by fire, 7 shot, and 2 deaths by ptomaine poisoning 452 in all. The property damage by the earthquake is scarcely worth speaking of, being no more than happens elsewhere in the world from other causes nearly every day; it would have been quickly made good and little thought of it but for the conflagration that followed.
We try to help nature instead of thwarting her. Supposing that the poison be of more insidious form, a germ or a ptomaine, for instance, which slips past these outer "firing-out" defenses of the food-tube and arouses no suspicion of its presence until it has been partially digested and absorbed into the blood.

A conscientious taster faithful, diligent, she reached the amazing speed of forty pickles a minute, and all done well. Of course it told on her. Also, her heartaches told on her. Lonely. Homesick for Bill, for Ptomaine Haul, for the gallery of Petticoats.
"Oh, I don't mean the cultures you take, I mean Culture with a big C. It's a poison, and as you cure ptomaine poisoning, I'm going to cure this town of its deadly art poisoning. I'm in revolt." "That's right, everybody who is anybody is in revolt against something nowadays, because our knowledge of the truth is too great for our existing conditions, and it bursts "
As far as danger of disease or ptomaine poison is concerned, chances between the two methods seem to offer little choice. The Bureau of Chemistry of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has conducted a series of experiments along the line of poultry storage. So far as the results have been published, nothing very striking has been learned.
Wheatley insisted on putting a bass bag full of cockles into the lorry before I left, and when I got to camp I ran to the cook-house thinking how they would welcome a variation for supper. "Cockles?" asked Bridget. "Humph, I suppose you know they grow on sewers and people who eat them die of ptomaine poisoning?"
