The Causes Of Death.

Our readers arc doubtless al familiar
with the Robinson poisoning cases, which
have recently come to light in Somerville.
Mass, suburb of Boston.
It seems that eight deaths have occurred
from arsenical poisoning, seven in one
family, and within five years. It is doubt
full IL the murderers would have been
brought to justice had not IN organization
In which the victims were insured began IN
investigation as to why so many persons
had suddenly died in one family.
But the sensation from medical point OF
view connected with the case, took place In
Boston at q recent meeting Of the Massa-
chusetts Medico-Legal Society, when it was
stated by DR.. Holt that there was general
ignorance Of the symptoms OF arsenical
poisoning and because Of such ignorance
the Robinson poisoning cases had gone on
without arousing the suspicion OF medical
men. The Robinson cases were all treated
BY regular physicians, with correct di-
plomas, men supposed to know what they
were doctoring for, and to know the eject
Of drugs on certain diseases. Yet in the
five deaths from arsenical poisoning OF
which We speak. certificates of death were
given for pneumonia, typhoid fever, men
nights, bowel disease, and Bright's Dis
ease.
Such commentary on the general igno
rance of the medical profession, made by
one of its own number. we believe to be
without parallel.
Is it any wonder that patients are losing
faith in their doctorsl Here were five able
bodied people slowly poisoned with arsenic
before their very eyes, and yet these very
wise medical men were doctOring them fol-
pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis,
bowel disease, ard Bright's disease.
In the very same manner thousands OF
patients are being treated this day for
| pneumonia. neart trouble, drOpsy, incipient
consumption, etc, when these are but
| symptoms Of. advanced kidney disease,
which is but another name for Bright's dis
.ase. The doctors do not strike at the sea,
| If the disease-the kidneys, and If they
| lid nine times out of ten they would fail
as they are on record as saying they car
not cure Bright's disease Of the kidneys
| Rather than use Warmers Safe Cure, !
well known specific for this and all Othe
| forms of kidney disease, they would lie
their patients die. and then give q deatl
| certificate tnat death was caused by peri
carditis, apoplexy, phthisis or cardiac at
fection.
Is this not the honest truth! Do you no
know in your own personal history yer,
many instances where physicians dOctore'
the wrong disease, and caused untold SUI
fering. and many times, death! Whicl
leads us 10 remark that very much can b
learned by one's-seif by careful Observa
ton. and that the doctors are very far from
having monopoly of the knowledge o
| medicine or disease.
