Strange Poisoning.

A singular case Of arsenical poisoning
recently occurred in Colorado. A young
lady mysteriously became ill., Her aD-
petite failed, her face became CHASTITY
pallid, her features bloated, and the
lower limbs swelled. Her body was
racked by intense pain, and finally her
condition became 30 uncomfortable that
she almost longed for death. The ply
sician was satisfied from the signs that
she was suffering from poison, but the
most rigid investigation failed to reveal
the methods by which she had received
the poison. One day the doctor saw the
young lady's wash when il came home,
and the singular luster Of the linen
struck him az remarkable. He seized
upon this rs possible clew, and upon
interviewing the negro wasberwoman,
discovered that she used arsenic i'm her
starch Then the whole case was plain.
The patient WAS afflicted by arsenic
