II has been found difficult by au.
thorities to define the word poison.
For instance. a dose OF powdered glass
will kill man. but can II be said to
poison" him? A dose Of typhoid
germs might also be fatal. but il has
been eontended that it should not be
described as poisoning" Hence our
interest in a novel definition by Prof
r. V. Jaksch. who uses the following
definition OF a poison: From a cIin-
ical point OF view everything may be
termed a poison which can damage
the organism not alone by its quality
but by simple excess in quantity
even food; and truly he discusses the
poisonous properties Of all foodsturs
milk. fats. nesh. fish and earbo-
hydrates and their substitutes. In
fact. many more people may be said
to be poisoned by excess Of food than
those who die of starvation.
