Hydrocyanci Poisoning by the 6wal-
lowing Of Peach Kernels. 6

A fatal case OF poisoning by peach-
stones which has just occurred in Paris
may serve as a warning to those families
in which children are allowed 20 look
after themselves for hours together. It
may be assumed that very few children
under the age, say, ten or twelve have
any idea that peach stones or peach
blossoms are dangerous. They have
been shown the deadly night-shade, and
probably the wild hemlock, and have a
canny dread of them; but nursemaids
are not nearly as fond of pointing out
the peach tree asan object Of horror and
aversion. The victim of the recent &C
cident in Paris had certainly not been
cautioned against the attractions of the
peach. He had developed, at the tender
age Of i've and q half, the faculty of
reasoning on inductive principles, and
he saw no reason to doubt that as cherry
and apricot stones contained eatable
kernels the nobler fruit had at least an
equally desirable treasure in its inmost
recesses. Accordingly he secreted the
stones of q number Of peaches which had
been sent to his mother from the country,
and possessing himself Of a hammer,
when left alone broke them open indus.
triously and then set upon a solid feast
to which he did hasty, but complete
justice. The taste of the kernels was
rot perhaps on a par with the expect
ati0ns previously entertained, bit it
would be ridiculous to 60 through the
evere labor of cracking such hard shells
without entering into the fruition
Of the labor when once finished. So the
unlucky child was found by his parent
on her return writhing in the grievous
agonies produced by prussic or hydro
cyanic acid. The arrival and efforts of
tho doctor were vain, and another item
had TO be added to the long list of
" deaths by imprudence." It Il a. well,
now that the season of fall fruit has
arrived, to explain what extent of pois-
oning properties ID possessed by the
peachstoue. The writer's on toxicoliogy
stats that IN ounce Of the kernels con.
tains shout 0ne grain Of pure hydro
