Arsenic Eaters.

At meeting of the German natural
philosophers in Vienna DR.. Knapp in
troduccd two arsenic eaters from Styria
the one ate 80 grammcs Of yellow sui
phurct of arsenic, the other 10 grammcs
Of arsenic acid i'll sight of the assembly.
In his; lecture on the arsenic eaters Dr.
Knapp said, among other things at is
difficult TO give any certain particulars
as to the increase in number of arsenic
caters. | have convinced myself that
there exist many Of them in Upper
Styria, and also in Middle Syria; very
many stable boys, hostlers, wood cutters,
and iorcsters, are known to me as arsenic
caters; even the female sex is addicted
to the practice. Many began already ut
seventeen or eighteen years of age to
take arsenic, and continued it to Il great
age. Most arsenic eaters keep the mat
ter secret, SO that it is impossible to give
| accurate statistics. They all assign as
their motive for indulging in the habit
that it prevents illness furthcrs their
wish to look rosy and healthy; that it is
arcmcdy against difficulty of breathing,
and assists the digestion of indigestiblc
food. y poacher in Upper Styria, who
made experiments III my presence of eat
ing arsenic, ,,stoid me he had acquired
courage by the habit. The appearance
OF the arsenic eaters in all eases known
to me is healthy and robust. l think
only robust persons can become accus-
toned to the practice. Some of them
attain Il great age. Thus in Zering l
saw Il charcoal burner, upward of 70,
still strong and hearty, who, | was told,
had taken arsenic for more than forty
years. heard, too, Of a chamois hunter
of 81, who had long been used to cat
arsenic. | never observed an arsenic
cachczy in those addicted to the habit
It certainly happened once that such e..
arsenic eater Ga leather drcsser's appren-
ticc in Ligist, 1869, while intoxicated
took too much, thereby poisoning HIM
self severely. According to his own ac-
count he had taken Il piece a. large as !:
bean. He entirely recovered, however,
and ate arsenic atterward, but more care
fully. AS far rs my observations extend,
white arsenic, namely arsenic acid AS
Oh (also called flowers of arscnic), and
the yellow arsenic, AS. So, (orpimcnt)
arc taken, and thu. taken in dry state
alone; or on bread. The dose is of course
very small ut first, and is gradually in
creased. the largest quantity eaten in my
presence by the poachcr in Zciring being
fourteen grammes. A certain Matthew
Schobcr, in Ligist, ate seven and one-half
grammes before me on the 18th of April,
1860. The intervals, too, at which AZ
scnic is taken vary--cvcry fortnight,
every week, twice or three times week.
But all doubt as to the existence OF ar
senic caters is now removed by the pres
cnt experiments"
