Poison Proof People.

There are entire communities OF pol
son proof people who partake OF doses
Of white arsenic With as much Zest as
the average person partakes Of a meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhabit the districts OF
Lamprecht, Salzburg. Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for chamois climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
Of these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society Of Physicians
assembled at Gratz The one ate six
grains Of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains Of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment, with equal impunity.
1t was explained that, seeing the good
effect Of the drug upon the coats and
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken in moderation it
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo
very severe test Of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany it's first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over its devotee.
Any attempt to leave of the drug is
generally fatal The women Of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful complexions and luxuri-
ant tresses.
