SINGULAR DEATH.

An inquiry was held on Tuesday evenin g by Mr. Richards,
deputy coroner, at Sion House, Lower Clapton, relative to
the death, from the inhalation of poison, of Mr. Capel
Henry Berger, aged 28 years. Mr. C. B. Berger, Sion House,
said that deceased lived with him, and was a colour. manufac-
turer. He suffered fora fortnight past from a very severe
,toothache, but a dentist advised him to preserve the tooth
and bear the pain. He' was an accomplished chemist,
and he tried all sorts of things to allay his sufferings.
OA Sunday last while at church he had to sit in a great
draft, and that brought on a relapse of the pain. In
the afternoon he went to his room, according to his
custom, and bolted himself in fOr the purpose of spend-
ing some time in devotion. When his sister called him
down to tea she could not make him 'hear, and ulti-
mately witness broke open the door, and found him
lying dead on the floor upon some flexible tubing which
communicated with a bottle of carbolic acid. His
face was quite black, and lie had vomited. It was clear
that he had died from the carbolic acid. Dr. J. B. Metcalf
said that deceased bad fixed an elastic tube, ten feet long,
to a large glass jar of carbolic acid, and had then evidently
seated himself in a chair and had inserted the end of the
tube in his mouth for the purpose of allowing a drop of
the liquid to fall on the tooth. He had a brass regulat( r
Dn the tube to control the quantity of the acid, but it did
not act efficiently, and the volatile poison overcame him,
and lie became giddy and fell. Being alone in the room,
the poison continued flowing into his mouth, and the
heart's action was stopped, and he died. The remedy
which he tried was a new one, and the deceased was in the
habit of recommending it to his friends. It should never
be used without medical assistance. The jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental death from inhaling carbolic acid
as a cure for the toothache."

Professor Frankland, F.R.S., in his analysis of the waters for
December, 1865, in the report to the Registrar-General, states,
"With regard to the filtration of this water (New River) through
animal charcoal, it will be observed that, although the total daily
iomestic supply of a house on Haverstock Hill has passed
through the same filter for seven months, the animal charcoal
still retains practically unimpaired its power of abstracting or-
ganic impurities."
*** The above Filter was supplied by this Company.

tained on application to the Secretary, at the Offices,

11HE ADVAN FAGES of the READY-MONEY

extract from a leading article in the " Times:"—
" Everybody knows the difference between a credit and a
ready-money business It is this partly which affords one tailor
the excuse for charging £7 75. for a coat while another will
charge £4 43. ..It is true that every tradesman ought to
abte his charges to customers who pay him punctually. Still
wea know how in this particular we all suffer for a few delin-
quents."
