rAINes oocToRs DO MOI KNOW
Their Ignorance Illustrated In the Robin,
son Poisoning Cases.

iheir Ignorance Illustrated in the Robin
son Poisoning Cases.
IEere was commotion among the doc
tors at recent meeting of the Nassarhu
sets MedicO-Legal Society, when It wa,
found that reporters for secular newsua
pers were taking notes. Papers bearins
specially on the notorious Robinson arseuf
cal poisoning cases had been announced.
DR. Holt declared that there was general
ignorance Of the symptoms Of arsenfca
poisoning, and claimed that because Of this
ignorance the Robinson poisoning cases had
gone on without arousing suspicious on the
part Of medical men. There were, he said,
at least eight cases Of criminal poisoning /:
seven occurred within five years, and il
one family, and the other was that OF g
relative
The cases were all treated by physicians
of large practice, prominent in the profes.
sion, and yet no SUSPICION of arsenical POI
soning was arouse d until an organization iu
which the victims, were insured tried TO de,
termine By inves legation why so many per.
SONS died suddenly in this family.
In support of his statement as 10 the ig,
nOrance Of medical men of the symptoms Of
arsenIcal poisoning, the doctor remarked
that certificates Of death were gwen IN five
Of the Robinson cases as follows: pneumo4
MIA, typhoid fever. meningitis, bowel disease
and Bright's disease.
The startling disclosure of the stupid ig.
norance shown in the treatment Of those
cases IS quite IN keeping with the usual in.
discretion manifested by the profession in
the treatment Of persons who are sufferers
from the slow and subtle poison which is
generated in the system from diseased
state Of the kidneys.
The afflicted are treated for CONSUMPTION
apoplexy, for brain and various nervous dis.
orders, when in most instances, it is shown,
when too late, that the patient was
wrongfrliy and ignorantly treated for a sun.
posed disease which was, in reality, but a
symptom of kidney disease, and should
have been timely treated as such by the use
Of Warmers Safe Cure. which Is the only
remedy known that can be successfully re.
he'd on in the treatment of such disease.
Such exhibitions of stupidity by those
who profess great intelligence in such mat.
tiers IS calculated to destroy confidence, and
itcan be well said that remedy like War
ner's Safe Cure, which places the direct
means Of preserving health in the sufferers
hands, is far more meritori0us than high
priced medical advice which is so generally
worthless and too often based upon an
erroneous opinion as to the true cause of
illness.
Human life is just a little too precious 10
the average Individual TO be sacrificed 10
the bigOtry or ignorance of others.
