Hvdrocvanic Acid.

The distilled essential oil Of almonds,

of hydrocyanic acid to make 1t highly
dangerous. A young man who was ex-
ecuting an order by pouring 1t from a
large bottle to a smaller one noticed
that he had not put the label quite
straight on the smaller bottle and took
It off again. Before replacing the Ia
bel he licked 1t to make sure OF Its
sticking properly. But while pouring
he had Inadvertently let drop or two
trickle on the outside Of the bottle
where he had affixed the label Then
when he touched the label with his
tongue he felt as II something shot
along that member and also a jump OF
his heart So he rushed to tap,
which was fortunately close at hand,
and put his tongue under the running
