People are not equally sensitive to these

chief food of a certain class of Italian work
men, there is formed by putrefaction in hot
weather a poison which causes ''pellagra, >

DEADLY PT0MAINES.
A SUBJECT ATTRACTING ATTEN-
TION AMONG MEDICAL MEN.

Some Facts of General Interest-The Poi
sons Which Are Generated in Food.
Risks of Eating Stale Sausage or Fish.
A Warming.
Probably no other subject is attracting so
much attention in the medical world today
as that of ptomaines. ptomaine, says Pro-
fessor Victor c. Vaughan, is basic of aka
loidal body formed during the putrefaction
of animal matter 1t may, therefore, be
called an animal alkaloid. The first definite
Investigations on this subject were made by
the learned Danish physician who presided
so ably at the eighth international medical
congress in lSS4-Dr Panum, of Copenhagen.
Panum found that putrid blood even after
being boiled and after being treated with
chemical reagents, which would destroy all
germs, retained its poisonous properties, He
boiled this poisonous substance for eleven
hours and found that it stlIl retained all its
virulence. From this he rightly concluded
that the poisonous substance was non-vola-
tile chemical compound. He did not succeed
in isolating it, and it has always been referred
TO as Panum's putrid poison Panums work
| was published in Danish, and did not attract
| much attention for some years.

yeast highly poisonous crystalline substance

| Bence Jones and Durpre about this time also
obtained from the liver substance which
when dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid, gave
the luorssence of sulphate of quinine, anc
| which was called by them animal chinoidine
| From putrid meat Professor Brieger prepared
a substance, neuridine, which acted as G
poison as long as it was contaminated with
other products of putrefaction; otherwis,
harmless. 1t is closely related to two sub
| stances that occur in the human system in it

The fact that the poisons of pUtrefaction
are OF a chemical nature accounts for the
poisons found in corpses. These posons bear
some resemblance to the alkaloids of the
hemlOck. strychnine, veratrine, etc. A gen.
eral was supposed to have been poisoned by
his servant, in Rome, and poison was found
in his body, bearing great resemblance to
virulent poison found in the larkspur. But
this evidence of murder was overcome by the
success of the late distinguished professor of
legal medicine in the university, Professor
Selmi, of Bologna, in obtaining the same
poison from corpse where every suspicion
of poisoning was excluded.
In 1870, Seliai began a series of investiga-
| tions concerning ptomaines, which was only
| interrupted by his death. Selmi obtained
| from putrid flesh extracts which gave re-
| actions similar to those of morphine, strych-
nine and delphinine But be did not succeed
in isolating completely any ptomaine.
Nencki, in 1876, first succeeded in determin-
| ing the composition of ptomaine. This
substance was obtained from putrid gelatine.
| The poisous ike those found in corpses
| called ptomaines by chemists, are created by
| the putrefaction of fish, white Of egg. meat
cheese, gelatine and yeast. The presence OF
moisture is an essential condition. hence the
moist mixture of sausage filling is especially
well adapted to the formation of thest
poisons 1t is matter of observation thai
a great many cases OF poisoning have fol
lowed the consumption of sausage or of fish
that have been kept damp. The action o.
the ptomaines is more viruent when they ar,
introduced into the circulation through
wounds, than when they are in the stomach

BELLEv1LLE, Ills, Oct. 3.-The coal
miners of this district, composed of Ma.

numbering about 1900, refused to go 20
work because the Consolidated company
and outside companies refused to give
them ~ cents per bushel, top weight,
which they demanded several days ago.
The miners will have a meeting in East
st. Louis, which will be composed of
delegates from all the pits in the dis
trict, the object being to agree upon

will adhere. They say that if their de-
