POISONING IN INDIA.
A Crime That Seems to b, Very Popula
Among the HindOOs.

A Crime That Seems to b, Very Popular
Among the HndOOs.
DR.. Lyons. the analyst to the Gov
eminent of Bombay, in his last annual
report has much to say on the use of
poison in .ndia. This seems to be on
the increase. for while he had to deal
with $50 Of these cases last year, he had
only 2S2 the year before and the gen.
eral work of analysis had increase five
fold since the first report was issued in
1872 Part of this enormous increase
is due to the increase in the criminal
use of poisons. and it is noticeable that
vegetable poisons, which were most
generally in use a few years ago, are
now giving way to metallic poisons.
This is attri butable to the ease with
which such drugs, such as arsenic, may
now be obtained in India, there being
practically no restriction on their SALE
In eighty -four undoubted cases of hui
man poisoning in the year, arsenic was
used in fOrty-one, pounded glass in
three, copper in six. mercury in five
and red lead in three OF the remain
ing twenty-seven cases opium was used
in fifteen. datura in five, alcohol in
two. prussic acid in one, and oleander
and other plants for the remainder. In
a large number of cases the poisoner is
never discovered; family sits down
to rice which they have themselves
carefully washed; all are taken i'll and
one dies; arsenic oxide in large quanti-
ties is discovered in the dish, but the
murderer is never discovered. MANY
cases of similar character are quoted
by DR.. Lyons. Flour is found in many
cases to be adulterated with an enor-
nous amount of arsenious oxide.
Poisoning by powdered glass is CON-
paratively new in India; there were
only three cases during the year. In
one man threw a packet of pounded
glass in rice mill; in another a woman
pounded her colored-glass bangles and
mixed the powder with the grain she
was grinding for her husbands food.

Seed Beds of Consumption.

Bavarian authorities are bestowing
pains and energy upon the effort to
systematic plan to stamp out tuber-
culosis. One difficulty in the way is the
apparent impossibility of determining
whether contagion or inheritance is the
more important factor in the propaga-
ton of the disease. The Bavarian doc
tors are not satisfied with the opinion
now dominant in Berlin that heredity is
of no consequence and that a thorough
prophylaxis may be established upon the
suppression of every possibility of con-
tagion, but they have proposed to the
Government an experiment on an ex-
tended scale for determining this point.
In the State prisons of Bavaria the NOR
