Much that has been written about botulism is not true and truths have been so distorted as to convey false impressions. This paper presents truths plainly and without bias. Two things are important-canned foods that show any signs of spoilage must be destroyed, so that neither animals nor man can eat them, and boiling "ready to serve" canned foods will always make them safe.
