a chemist, of Chantillon (Indre), has just published n u`" 0
fact in toxicology of considerable importance. some tirl'r
ago, an inhabitant of that town caused a pump with a
pipe to be sot up in his yard. The pipe was not tin to ;

from this pump was freely used for household purposes',,y
nothing seemed to warrant a suspicion of its containia 'l,-
hurtful ingredient. One day, however, the lady ef,ta°
house remarked to her husband that a quantity of bu"-
which had remained several days in that water renewed °+.1,11
