DZATH BROX QIILCZ MEDICI:NIL --011 Saturday
Mr. Humphreys held an inquest at the Comet pubriclouse,
Christian-street, St. George's-in•the-East, thing the death
of Elizabeth Taylor, aged 45 years, who, it was alleged, had
died from the administration of a quack medicine, pre.
scribed by a herbalist. The evidence went to prove that
the deceased was a sempetress, and obtained a scanty liveli-
hood by making ladies mantles. She bad suffered from
disease of the heart, and had been in the habit of
taking lobelia powders, which she had purchased
at the shop of • herbalist in the Back-read, near
Ratcliff -highway. On Wednesday morning last the
son left her in her usual health, and when he returned
in the evening he found her lying in a state of insensibility
in the corner of her room upon a mattress. She was unite
insensible, and he sent a messenger for Mr. Kay, the rm.
goon, of the Commercial-road East, who promptly attended,
but the deceased had expired when he reached the house.
Mr. John Williams Kay, M.R.C.S., said that he found the
deceased dad, and had made a postmortem examination of
the body. The chest was much coogested. He had exa-
mined the powders, and he was of opinion that the use of
them, as the deceased suffered from disease of the hew%
would have a depressing effect upon that organ, and produce
aynoope. The jury, after some further remarks, returned
a special verdict to the following effect :—" That the de-
ceased (Elizabeth Taylor) died from disease of the heart,
accelerated by the use of lobelia powders sold to her by •
herbalist unknown."
