ARTIFICIAL FLOW ER 31A.KINCI-%

Yesterday an inquiry was held by Mr. G, S•
Brent, touching the death of Matilda Scheurer,
good-looking girl of 19, who died from poison ire&
bibed into the system during her engagement in the•
manufacture of artificial flower leaves. Mrs. Louisa
Scheurer, a widow, and mother to the deceased, de-
posed that on Thursday week her daughter was
taken ill. She was seized with vomiting, and the
refuse of the stomach was of a very greenish colour.
The witness took her to a doctor on the following
morning, who told her she was again suffering from
the effects of poison. She had been ill several
times before, complaining of pains in the stomach
and sickness for the last year and a half. She
was engaged as an artificial florist in the ware-
house of Mr. Bergerond, of Judd-street, Bruns-
wick-square, and up to the time of her death
she had been engaged in the leaf mak-
ing. She was in the greatest pain until she
became insensible, when death put an end to her
sufferings. Mr. James Thomas Paul, surgeon,
of 2G, Burton-crescent, said ho had attended
the deceased four times within 18 months, while
suffering from the same causes, He had made a post-
mortem examination, and found that the lungs gave
evidence of the presence of arsenite of copper, the
liver being highly impregnated, as was also the
mesenteric glands. The cause of death was acute
inflammation of the mucous membrane of the
stomach, produced by the inhalation of the arsenite
of copper. A sister of the deceased had died under
similar circumstances. Mr. Bergerond said he em-
ployed 98 gide in his establishment, and for their
protection ho had suggested the wearing of masks,
but it was objected to by them as producing ex-
cessive heat. They, however, wore muslin over
their mouths. It was stated by a juror that the
arsenite of copper in such manufactures was pro-
hibited in France as injurious to workpeople. The
jury returned a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased died accidentally from the effects of mortal
disease in her stomach and other organs, occasioned
by arsenite of copper used in her employment.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Healthy Skin.--At certain seasons of the year cutaneous
diseases are more troublesome than at other periods; and
on such occasions aze there two famous 'remedies most re-
markable for their curative powers. The Ointment cures
externally the disfigurements arising from scrofula, scurvy ,
ringworm, pimples, blotches, and similar disorders. The
Pills purify all the solids and fluids composing the body.
The Ointment not only soothes r.nd heals the surface, but
passes to the glands beneath, cleanses them, expels ail
impurities, and removes all obstructions. HolloWay's
renowned Ointment and Pills possess the very desirable
power of ejecting from the human framo the seeds of the
slightest, or most virulent, skin eruptions and ulcerous
distempers.
