DOWN with CHEMISTRY in connexion with
MEDICINE.—DOCTORS and their MEDICINAL POISONS,
such as Prussic Acid. Laudanum, Arsenic, Strichnine, &c.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—We beg to suggest to you 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 gin en " medi-
! cinally." It is useless to attempt t conceal the fa, ts. Take the
following case :—Suppose the doctor orders a patient a dose of laud.-
' num, it a mixture containing laudanum—what is more easy th,,n
for an evil-disposed person to add a little of the poison to the mix-
ture prescrib d by the doctor, and thus pr duce death ? Would it be
• Possible t 9 detect such a criminal ? We think not ; for even sup-
. Polling apost mortem examioati.,n of the body took place, so one
Would be capable of detecting the extra qu:ntity of poison taken by
the patient. Supposing that strichnine were the poison, it would
still be more difficult, as a less quantity would be necessary to pro-
duce death, and so on with other poisons. Dr, Scoffern hi the la-
Inentable case of Miss Collier, said, in answer to the Coroner, tha
striehnine could only be given in fractions of a grain! The fol owl' g
is the description given of this precious melicine, I. e. poison, in
" Hooper's Medical Dictionary," pate 1,228
" Half a grain blown into the throat of a rabbit has produced tris-
Inns in two minutes, and death in five ; and the eighth of a grain
taken into the stomach has proved fatal to a strong dog." Why, Sir,
look at the case of the girl Foster, now so justly under sentence of
! death. If it bad not been for the f )wls dying all about the house,
she would not have been even suspected, for the doctor who made
the pest mortem examination declared it to be a case of English
• Cholera! ! ! The fowls were. in fact, the means of bringing the
criminal to justice. In ftirther illustration of the above, we recom-
Mend the reader to peruse the fourth Hygeian print, in conjunction
With the 69th Number of the " Ilygeist." for April, on this important
' Point. In conclusion, we cannot but think that a grave responsi-
' Witty attaches to all persons who support such a system of poisons,
• ether directly or indirectly.
Issued by the British College of Health. London, for and on
behalf of Hygeists, April 5. 1847.
As it may be asked how we know that these deadly chemical pre •
Mations may be dispensed with in medicine, our answer is simple
and positive, viz., from the almost numberless letters of parties who
Were dosed with them without belied., and who were afterwards
Most easily cured by a simple but effectual system of safe vegetable
Purgation.

Richard Manks could not have had friends had he not
shown good cause for their favourable oi.inion ; we may;
therefore, be excused for briefly giving, as a justification
of their confidence, his: bygone deeds:—Born: at Knowle'
in Warwickshire, on the 3d of: May, 1820 ;
muscular, and with a peculiarly projecting cutwuter fey;
his figure-head, he looked with his five feet set,. inches
of stature capable of taking, as brother Jonathan sari
" the stride out &the ryetun." But we mta come .to
his past, instead of his tegsi!nt perforinances. His fri:st
recorded race ruiltiii44o miles, for 25/. i
Thomas Birthead (alias Lammas). of She
he del', aced at Sparke Brook, in February, 1844, doing .
the distance in lac. hOtir, 29 -min. 15 sees. On the 18th
of March followirg, he ag,.in defected Birkhead in a ten-
wile rice, for 10/. aside, at Vauxhall-gardens, Birming-
ham, Manks having three hundred yards' start given him,
going over the ground in a few seconds over the
hour. In a few days after this victory (March 18),
Manks undertook to run IBi miles within 2 isours on the
Coventry-road, which he completed, having two minutes
and a half to spare. On the 28th of October, in the
,aine year, he beat Mountjoy, in a match of 300 stones,
placed one yard apart, for 151 aside, at Vauxhall gar-
dens, Birmingham. The distance is 51 miles and 540
yards, and he performed his task in 8f hours. He again
encountered Birkhead on the 27th of December, 1844,
but was defeated in a ten-mile race, at Sheffield, for a
silver cup. In the year 1845 his matches were princi-
pally confined to rural competitions in atone matches and
the like, except his defeats of John Barlow (Tallock)
and Birkhead, of Sheffield. In 1846 he beat T. Green- -
halgh, of Bolton, 10 miles, 1001. aside, over Knutsford
race-course, Greenhalgh giving in at the fifth mile, May
26 •, beat C. Moseley, of Sheffield, If mile, 501. aside,
Hyde-park, Sheffield, time 7 min. 10 sec., Nov. 2; beaten
by J. Sherdon, Oct. 6 ; beaten by J. Sherdon, June 1 ;
beat Sherdon, Lovitt (50 yards start), Stainsby (100), -
and Williams, of Gorton, in a handicap five-mile rade
for a cup, value 151., at Hyde-park, Sheffield, Dec. 2s.
And this brings us, chronologically, to the last defeat,
and the present one.

H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, the ROYAL FAMILY, his Grace the
COMMANDER-:N-CHIEF, the PRINCIPAL NOISILITY, and

expressly for this coat, of double twist warp and weft, and finest
Saxony wool. It is guaranteed to endure and maintain its primitive
appearance at least twice the tints of or :Mary cloth, however good

pellent, is perfectly porous. The sleeves are lined with a• ich dura-
ble silk, so that the coat slil4s on and off easily, and, owing to its
softness, lightne,s, and elasticity, the wearer experiences perfect
ease and freedom when the coat is buttoned.

&quiet, elegant, gentlemanly appearance ; it is kept in every size and
leading colour, ready for immediate wear, price Two Guineas and a

SMITH AND JENKINSON.—The race of a quarter of a
mile, wherein the Pet of Regent-street end the London
Stag perilled 50 sovereigns of their own money, or that
of their respective backers, to say nothing of the amount
ventured by that good, easy, and everlasting losing (or
gaining) aggregate, the public, took place on Tuesday,
near the Duke's Head, Bedfont, afoot a couple of miles
on the farther side of the once famous heath of Houa-
slow. At half-past four Smith and his antagonist
showed at the scratch, and were soon off. Smith looked
well, but did not start in the determined and dashing
styLe which was his wont on other occasions. Jenkinson
hail a tiifling lead for 300 yards, his man close up,
and running well; but from this distance he " forged
ahead," and increasing his advantage, ran in a handsome
winner (we don't mean personally) by at lest 10 yards.

THE FoOT `;YEEPLECHASE AT NOTTING. DALE.--
This hedo and ditch atfiir was contested nn Tuesday,-the
prize being a silver hunting-watch. Rawlings, of Kil-

petitors out of five entries, having, it. is presumed, de-
terred others from the contest. Laws went off with the

\UDDEN DEATH OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—On
Tuesday night an inquest was held before Mr. Bedford,at
the Red lion, Princes-ktreet,Westminster, on thebody of
Thomas Powell, aged 35, a police sergeant of the A
division of Metropolitan Police. It appeared that about
half-past two o'cleck on Monday morning last deceased
was on duty, apparently in his usual health, when a cab
drove from Wright's Coffee-house, Charing-cross, in which
were four men and a woman, who were creating a great
uproar. Deceased ran atter the cab for the purpose, as
was supposed, of taking the number, when, without
uttering a word, he fell back on to the ground as if shot.
Police-constable Eve, A 47, who had followed, found
deceased in a state of insensibility, and took him in a
cab to Westminster Hospital, where he was pronounced
to be dead. Mr. Tebay, house surgeon of the hospital,
said that there were no external marks of injury ;'but,
on making a post mortem examination, he found long-
standing disease of the heart, and he bad no doubt that
the exertion of running had, in consequence of that
disease, occasioned deceased's death. A verdict was re-
turned of " Natural death."

Bst. His earlier' triumphs as a runner are not worth
notice. His first recorded races were in 1842, when in :
several 200 yards and 440 yards' races he was the victor,
but was by no means "fancied" by the "good judges" of
pedestrianism. In 1843-4 he shone a little, by lowering
the pride of James Byrom in a mile race, and Maxwell
In a run of three miles, but was beaten by Sheppard,
Robinson, and Smith, at shorter distanet s. In January,
1845; be proved his lasting quality by winning (a feat
unparalleled in the annals of pedestrianism) eleven
miles and forty-three yards within the hour! This
was -in his match with Sheppard, of Birmingham.
His trans-Atlantic feats may be briefly told :—On
the 22d of October, 1845, having taken a trip to the
New World, he won 501., by beating four others, in a
five miles' race over the St. Pierre Course. On the same
day, he beat Gildersleeve in a ten-mile race for 1004 •
doing the distance in 59 min. 55 see- At Toronto, on'
the 4th of November following, he beat Gildersleeve, in
the hour's-match, for 1,000 dollars, the 10 miles being
done in 56 min. 52 sec.; he ran 600 yards on his eleventh
mile arid stopped. having then 1 min. 55 sec. to go before
the hour was up. On the 12th of the same month he
again beat Gildersleeve in ten miles over the Bull's Head
Course, near Albany, for a purse of 500 dollars ; time
115 min. 30 sec. Again was he brought into requisition
on the 24th of November, when he undertook to run ten
miles and a half in the hour, over the, Canton Course,
Baltimore; which he accomplished- in 57 min. 30 sec.
On the Bth of February, 1846, he was beaten by Gilder-
sleeve in a fitteen-mile race ; Jacks, .0 gave 600 yards to
start him and two others ; the prize wus 1,000 dollars
for the man who accomplished the distance in 1 hour
30 min., which was lost by 2 min. 30 sec., but the prise
was divided between Jackson and Gildersleeve. On the
25th of the same month he undertook to run eleven:
miles in one hour, for a bet of 2,000 dollars, on the
Eclipse Course, New Orleans, which he lost by 10 sec.; •
but on the 7th of March he won 200 dollars for-running -
ten miles in 58 min. 30 sec. (one hour being allowed)
at Savann:eb, beating Gildersleeve. On the 25th of
June following he again undertook, for a bet of '
1,000 dollars to 700, to run eleven Miles in the hour, at •
Phlade Iphia, but he vvas declared to have lost by two'
or three seconds ; be complained of not having had fair'
play. He was defeated by George Seward in a hurdle-
race of one mile, 50 leaps, for 500 dollars at Washington, •
but, was successful in a three-mile race for 300 dollars, at
Montreal, and also in a ten miles and a half spin, for 500' dollars, at Charleston, South Carolina. This brings hint-
home, where he defeated his present opponent in a ten; '
mile race, at Rugby, on the Bth of February in the pre-
sent year, and again, under the circumstances above re• ---
ported.
