ARSENiCAL POISONING.
How to Discover 1t During the Life of the
Victim.


Victim.
DIR. Brouardel, the dean of the Paris
faculty, read before the Academy OF
Medicine, Paris, a paper on arsenical
poisoning particularly worthy the at
tention of all practitioners. An i'm
portant part of this paper touched upon
the discovery of the fact of arsenical
poisoning during the life of the victim.
Occasionally a physician is called to
attend some patient-never really
makes out what is the matter, gives a
certificate of death based upon the
most prominent symptom he saw, and
subsequently is informed by the police
that his patient was poisoned with ar
senic. The Somerville cases in Massa-
chusetts passed in that way. Some
times the doctor suspects the evil, but
can not be sure by ordinary observa-
ton. What is he to do then? Examine
the venal excretion. DR.. Brouardel
says arsenic will be found there in a
few minutes after it has been given.
and if much has been given it may be
found for many days after the dosing
has stopped (forty days in a
case watched by DR.. Gail
lard). But the physician must
take the excretion himself to be sure
against substitution. In addition the
poison can in cronic case be found in
the hair-a lock of which can USUALLY
be- had without difficulty. DR.. Brou-
ardel Classics very exactly for in.
stance in these obscure cases the Sc
quence of symptoms-making four
groups. First, come troubles with the
digestive organs; next. catateous erup-
tons and laryngo bronchial ca.
tarrh; third. are troubles of sensibili-
ty. and. fourth, paralysis. If death
follows rapidly it is because paral.
ysis stops the heart But death NAV
not follow rapidly. 1t may not be due
70 direct action of the arsenic, but to
organic changes which the arsenic has
produced. changes in the hepatic and
renal cells and in the muscles so that
the death resembles one due to chronic
alcoholism. In such a case if the ar
senic has been eliminated from all or.
binary tissues it will yet be
found in the bones. Accord
ing. to the researches of M.
Pouchet included in DR.. Brouardels
paper, arsenic accumulates very ran.

The late DIR. Thayer was one of the
best physicians in the country, but his
skill was of no avail in the case of his
wife, who kept her bed for more than
two years. One day there was no
grown person about the house and her
little boy came running in with bad
cut on his finger, bleeding profusely.
With true motherly forgetfulness of
self she sprang up, found bandages,
and dressed the wound; then sitting
down to rest, she looked around; every
thing seemed SO pleasant and she felt
SO comfortable that she decided not to
take her bed again. and she did not.
She lived several years in the enjoy
ment of comfortable health. Fairfield

A new bridge is needed ct Columbus st.
and its construction cannot begin too soon.
The old bridge is worn out and practically
useless for heavy loads. When the electric
cars ran upon it on Wednesday it very near
ly toppled into the Chicago sewage known as
cansl water, and it will be necessary to
keep vigilant watch over until new one can
be built. 1t has been braced and repaired so
as to last as long as it is taken care Of, but
nevertheless Mr.. Evans has ordered his cars
to run across very slowly.

patriarch, and the voice of the child, for the
old settlers will take possession in the

manhood.
good program has been arranged, as
published in late issue of the FREE TRADER,
and if the enjoyment of the day is marred
it will be because the elements interfere.
Every convenience possible to be secured
will be furnished, and those who do not
bring refreshments will find an abundance
at the stand in the center of the park.

attend and swell the pionic's grand sue.

died in Germany on July 10th, were inter-
ed in Ottawa Avenue Cemetery at four p
m. on Thursday afternoon. After her death
the remains were Immediately embalmed
and placed in o metallic casket and this was
then placed in heavy oaken casket, both
being Theoretically sealed. The passage
from Germany to this city was made without
incident and the casket arrived here on the
II: 02 train ON the C. B. & O., from whence
it was conveyed direct to the cemetery,
where the funeral services were held four
hours later. A large procession wendell its
way TO the city Of the dead and the beauti-
full and accomIl ished young girl was laid at
rest beneath the waving grasses where the
song of the river, beside whose bosom she
fist saw days bright dawn, shall keep her

are to come. Under the influence of music

Trouble IN window Glass.


Tho window glass factories Of this city
will not start their fires in September, &C.
cording to the present outlook, and it may
be many months before the cylinders will
swing into the glory holes Of their blow fur
naces
In 1885 the window glass blowers and
manufacturers held conference and an
agreement was entered into by which the
blowers and those dependant upon them
were to work the ensuing year upon ten
per cent. reduction. Two years ago the
blowers succeeded in securing FIVE per
cent advance, thus gaining portion Of the
ground which they had lost the year before.
Last year the same rate prevailed.
At the annual conference held in Pitts
burg month ago, the blowers and Western
Assn of Window Glass Manfrs. were unable,
after long and heated session, to reach an
agreement, the men firmly demanding an
advance to the old rate Of four years ago,
and the manufacturers maintaining with
equal stubbornness that they could not and
would not pay it. On Tuesday last another
conference was held at Pi,tsburg, but
closed with even less harmony than the
meeting of last month, and, as window
glass man remarked to the FREE TRADER
reporter, mo one knows when the factories
will start" A few of the houses, in which
the blowers are stockholders, will start up
on time, granting the advance, and run ell
season. The blowers claim to have a half
million dollars in their treasury, an amount
which they estimate will run them for near
ly year, and the glass manufacturers, who
are not in with the men, have pledged them
selves not to violate their agreement.
This strike throws two hundred and fifty
men out of work in this city, affecting near
ly twelve hundred people living in the fourth
and fifth wards, and although but one-twelfth
of our population will be curtailed in in
come, it will be an unpleasant factor in the
fell trade.
The Ottawa Flint Glass and Bottle Co.,
and the La Bsstie Glass Co. will start on
time, the La Bastie opening the holes of its
melt furnace on Monday morning next.
These two factories employ about FIVE hun
bred men and boys.
