poisoning nor 70 intentional wronedoing
Of any one We find in statements OF those
with Mrs. Stanford in her last moments no
evidence that any Of the characteristic
symptoms OF stTychnine poisoning were
present.
I'VE think II probable that death was
due TO o combination Of conditions and
circumstances. Among these we may
note in combination with her advanced
age the unaccustomed exertion, the sur
felt Of unsuitable food and unusual ex-
posure during the picnic to which she
went on the day Of her death. These
conditions were perhaps somewhat aggra-
waited by the presence Of stTychuins and
other drugs in medicinal capsules and
possibly also by the presence Of a small
amount Of strychnine contained In a dose
Of bicarbonate Of soda.
sThe occurrence Of this strychnine In
the soda has not yet been explained. The
fact that il was not in excess Of the usual
medicinal proportions suggests that its
presence was due either TO an error Of the
pharmacist or that the combination was
