TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—We beg to suggest to yon and the public how easy it mutt be
fir any evil-disposed person to po!son another whilst such deadly
chemical preparations as the above are held out and given " medi-
cinally." It is useless to attempt to conceal the facts. Take the
following ca,e :—Suppose the doctor orders a patient a dose of lauda-
num, or a mixture containing laudanum—what is more easy than
for an evil-disposed person to add a little of the poison to the mix-
ture prescrib. d by the doctor, and thus produce death? Would it be
Possible to detect such a criminal ? We think not ; for even sup-
Posing a post mortem examination of the body took place, so one
would be capable of detecting the extra quantity of poison taken by
the patient. supposing that strichnine were the poison, it would
still be more as a less quantity would be necessary to pro-
duce death, and so on with other poisons. Dr, Scoffern in the la-
. Mentable case of Miss Collier, said, in answer to the Coroner, tha
B,trielmine could only be given in fractions of a grain ! The fol owing
18 the description given of this precious medicine, i. e. poison, in
" Rboper's Medical Dictionary," page 1,228 :
" Half a grain blown into the throat of a rabbit has produced tris-
Mus in two' minutes, and death in five ; and the eighth of a grain
taken into the stomach has proved fatal to a strong deg." Why, Sir,
look at the case of the girl Foster, now so justly u abortent of
death. If it haff_not been for the fowls dying all the house,
she would not have been even suspected, for the doctor who made
the post mortem examination declared it to be a case of English
Cholera ! 1 'Dip lowls were, in fact, the means of bringing the
criminal to justice.. In further illustration of the above, we recom-
mend the reader to. peinse the fourth Ilygelan print, in conjunction
with-the 69th Number of the" Hygeist," for April, on this important
Point. In conclusion, we cannot but think that a grave responsi-
bditrattaches to all persona who support such a system of poisons,
either directly or indirectly.

As it may be asked how we know that these deadly chemical pre •
Parations-iniy bd dispensed 'with in medicine, our answer is simple
and positive, viz., from the almost numberless letters of parties who
