Arsenic Most Frequently Used.

Arsenic has, perhaps, been more
frequently used than any other poison
for criminal purposes. It has been
proved identical with the wonderful

when secret poisoning became so
frequent in Italy that the clergy, de-
spite the rules of the confessional, &C.
quainted Pope Alexander VII. in 1913
with the extent Of the practice.

keep what is worth keeping and with
