N2  - Dr. F. Wentworth, Ohio Department of Health, has reported cadmium poisoning among 22 patients and staff of a mental institution following the consumption of lemonade stored in a metal food container. The Ph of the lemonade was 3.2 and contained 62 p.p.m. of cadmium. The vomitus from 1 of the patients contained 15 p.p.m. of cadmium. Scrapings from the inside surface of the food container indicated a high concentration of cadmium.    The container was manufactured during World War II, prior to 1943. During that period, due to the shortage of stainless steel, cadmium-plated carbon steel was used for both the inner and outer shells, and an aluminum liner was provided to prevent food contact with the cadmium plating.
