POISONED HANs.-At the Coroner's
lyestigation in the case of poisoning !
-om eating Hams in New York, that
ad been improperly cured, DR.. Finnell
,stifed as follows: {
81 am familiar with the action of
oisons on the system; preserved and
noked meats will occasionally produce
j the symptoms exhibited in the case Of c
lie deceased; this is due to the presence
fatty acid, generated during their
reservation; about the year 1900, over
90 persons were poisoned by eating a
ans and sausages in Wurtemberg, c
Germany; of these, more than 100
led; symptoms of poisoning came from
70 to ten days after the meats were I
aten; on a, chemical analysis, fatty v
lid was detected, which was supposed
} be the cause of the poisoning; it is
OF necessary for ham to be in a state g
decomposition to produce poisonous v
fleets; on examination after death, in
le cases / have spoken of, the throat n
as dry, the mucous membrane white il
I'D slightly thickened, and the stomach
nd intestines presented signs of infam- h
atory action; all persons are not sus- t.
'ptible to the actions of poisons to the
me extent; from the history of this
Ise, and the state of the body OF the b
sceased, after death, I am led to be- Il
I'VE that death was caused-by the pois- Il
lous effects of the meat in question. il
