White arsenic is the form IN which arsenic Is
taken by the peasants of Styria and the TyroL
Professor SchaIlgruebrr Of CactZ was the first
To- call attention To this practice i'm a report
Which he made in lS-s2 To the Austrian Govern
mtnt on the cause of the numerous deaths from
arsenic poisoning in those districts lie four
that arsenic was kept in mast of the houses IN
Upper Styria under the name of "hydraCh' eVi-
dchtly u corruption Of ''huttenTauCh.'' or fur
mace smoke. His statements made were suhSe-
quently confirmed from per Sonal observation 10y
a Dr. McClagan of Edinburgh. but for many
years aftcrward the arsenic eaters We're Sener-
ally diSbeIieved in. and il was not till 1860 that
q. Hese published convincing evidence.
Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters and
woOdcutteTs with the object of waTding off
fatigue and improving their staying powers.
Owing to the fact that the sale Of arsenic is il
legal in Austria without doctors certificate il
is difficult to- obtain definite information of ?
habit which is kept as secret a. possible. Ac,
cOring 10 a DIR. Lorenzo, in that district the
arsenic is taken Testing. usually in a cup of
coffee. the first dose being minute. but increased
day by day. until il sometimes amounts To the
enormous dose of twelve or fifteen grains. He
found that the arsenic eaters were usually long
lived. though liable 40 sudden death They have
very fresh youthful appearance. and are sell
dom attacked by infectious diseases.
After the first dose the usual symptoms of
slight arsenic poisoning are evident. hut these
soon disappear On continuing the treatment.
In the arsenic factories in Salzberg il is stated
that workmen who are not arsenic eaters soon
sucCumb tn the fumes. The manager of one of
these works informed MIR. IIeiSe that he had
been medically advised to eat arsenic before
taking up his position He considered that no
one should begin the practice before twelve
years old nor after thirty and that in any case
after fifty years of age the daily dose should he
gradually reduced, since otherwise sudden death
would enSue. If a confirmed arsenic eater sud
denly attempts do altogether without the
drug ne Immediately succumbS to the effects or
arsenic poisoning The only to Obviate this
is gradually to acclimatiZe the system by reduc-
ing the dose from day to day. AS another evil
dence of the cumulative properties of arsenic lt
is interesting to note that when the SraveyaruS
in Upper Styria opened the bodies of the
arsenic eaters be distinguished by their al
most perfect state of preservation due To thc
gradually accumulated arsenic.

rule for several OF the larger companies
which are to visit us In the near future,
notably, Henry Miller, The Empire

these companies play regularly to 500

is really a concession when they only

have to pay the enormous additional
expense required to transport their
companies and their stage productions
