70 The New York Sun publishes a note
from Professor of Chemistry in the Penn
svlvania Medical Culege awrence Reid)
showing what caused the sudim death Of the
Eve mcn ia one Of the cells in the New York
City Prison, the other day The nen. It will
Be remembered, we're in state Of intoxica-
tion at tho time
" Having paid much attention to the snhject
Of respiration. permit me to offer the follow
ing explanation Of the cause Of this lamenta-
bic occurrence.
Alcoholic drinks are principally expired
by the lungs or burnt off by them in the
shape Of carbonic acid cas-. If you collect
the air from the lungs Of person who has
been drinking, you can easily exiinguish a
candle with it from It's cause, and on analy-
zing it, larger quantity Of carbonic acid viii
be found than under ordinary circumstances
The five men being confined in the same
cell, surcharged the place with this deadly
gas, and hence the catastrophe"
The unfeeling treatment Of drunken peo-
pie. showing them into any hole for the time
deserves the severcst reprehension.
