Zinc=Lined Refrigerators 
Cause Disease 
The zinc corrodes and the oxides poison 
milk and food, causing serious disease. An 
unsanitary refrigerator, (whether lined with 
zinc or anything else) often causes serious 
sickness, yet few people think or laying 
the blame where it actually belongs. Chil- 
dren are especially liable to sickness 
caused by refrigerator poisoned milk.
