Is swas called yesterday to see q lady-Miss
Henry-who had evidently been poisoned uu-
der the following peculiar circumstances:
She is employed in the store Of Mrs Hewes,
in the manufacture Of millinery goods, and is
frequently In the habit Of biting off the thread
while sewing, not knowing that all articles Of
the kind are saturated with arsenic, as por-
tion Of the colosing matter. Miss II. had alb
sorbed into the system sufficient quantity
OF the poison to have proved fatal, had 1t not
been for the timely Interference Of medical
aid. This should be q sufficient warning to
all persons in the millinery business against
the dangerous practice.
