POISON IN MIDDLE AGES.

In the middle ages so little was known of
toxicoloey that all sudden or mysterious
deaths were attributed to poison but in the
light of modern knowledge many of these are
now easily explained by such diseases as ap.
pendicltis or gastric ulcer. Even the Borgias
can be absOved from many of the poisonings
laid to their charge. Nevertheless. says the
British Medical Journal. from very early times
in Italy poison was favorite means of remoy
ing an enemy. In England France and Ger.
many crudcr methods of vengeance prevailed
and It was not until the sixteenth century
that the Medci introduced poisoning into
France The fashion spread with terrible rap.
idity and poison was employed In every rank
of society TO get rid of inconvenient persons
The art introduced into France by Catherine
de Medici and her followers took root SO
deeply as to blossom later into the black
magic of Louis XlV.'s reign.
