Death Attributed to Shoe Polish.

ner Storz of Toledo, Ohio, decided that
w. S. RAIDER. who died suddenly, and
whose death was attributed to cigar
cites and dancing, was poisoned by
nitrobenzole, an ingredient of shoe
polish that RAIDER had used. This
chemical is very deadly, and of forty
eight cases of such poisoning recorded
there has been but one recovery. The
coroner's attention was attracted by
the odor of the shoes and the black
ened flesh around the young mans
ankles.-From the Chicago Record
