NOTED MURDERS or RECORD
Arsenic the Favorite Poison Of crlmi-
nais In Earlier Centuries, Says
English Lecturer.

Some notorious cases Of murder by
arsenic we're recalled by DR.. f. M.
Sandwith, Gresham professor of ply
sizes, in the third of his series of lee
lures on drugs at the City Of London
school,
A grim romance hung over the very
word arsenic" he said, and it had
been associated with cruel tragedies
in olden as we'll as in our own times.
Opium was the favorite drug of sui
cides and arsenic of murderers. The
reason in the case of the suicide was
probably because opium was less pain
arsenic.
In almost every instance arsenic
had been the agent employed by those
human fiends who, having successful
ly disposed of one victim without
arousing suspicion, appeared to devel-
op lust for murder, which was not
satisfied until the very number of
their victims stood as overwhelming
evidence against them.
Thc lecturer referred to the case of
the Marchioness de Brinvilliers, who
lived in the time of Louis XIV. and
q studied the effects of arsenical poi
'soning by giving poisoned sweets to
the poor in the hospitals. She after
ward poisoned her father and two
brothers.
Another woman at the beginning OF
the eighteenth century poisoned more
than 600 persons, while third in
more modern times disposed of Is,
including her three children, two hus-
bands. and an intended third.
Henrietta Robinson was convicted
in 1888 of the murder of her son by
arsenic, and when the bodies of eight
other members of her family and
servants were exhumed the same poi
son was found in all of them but two.
tTwenty-four cases Of poison by means
of fly papers were recorded.
Homicidal poisoning by arsenic was
declining to great extent owing to
the rigid restrictions imposed on the
sale Of poisons and the publicity in
the newspapers of murder cases.
Such publicity gave person of crimf
nal tendency a wholesale fear of de-
lection and a sense of insecurity in
the face of the growing science Of
toxicology, which was bringing to the
light Of positive knowledge that which
in the past could only be matter of
conjecture or suspicion.
In an earlier part of the lecture DR..
Sandwith referred to the beneficial ef-
fects of the three modern arsenical
remedies-atoxyl, soamin, and salvar-
san.

do you know why American mems

you.
American mems feet look ugly be-
cause they have their shoes polished
while wearing them-an iniquitous
practice followed nowhere else in the
world.
Everywhere else men on retiring
slip trees into their shoes and set the
shoes outside their bedroom doors. A
servant takes them and polishes them,
and after the dampness of their pol.
ishing they rest for some hours in the
tree, and this does to them what hot
iron does to suit of clothes-it press.
es them, so to speak, taking out all
the ugly bumps and wrinkles, making
them like new.
N"But we Americans drop into AN
armchair on high brass stand. Our
shoes are polished on our feet. The
ugly lines of wear instead of being
moved by the process are confirmed,
rubbed in And that is why our feet
always look ugly-as ugly as our
clothes would look IL we never sent
them to the tailor to be pressed"

PROTECTION

In the West and South there have
been many storms this year which
have carried with them great loss
of life as we'll as a great property
loss. In Ohio there was an immense
loss of life and property loss as
result of the foods. The savings of
lifetime, in some families, were swept
away with a single stroke; yet, none
of these calamities have affected to
the extent of single cent the value
of insurancc-either the death indem-
nifty or the present asset represented
by the cash or the borrowing capacity
of the contract--carried in such
Company as the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company, of Newark, New
Jersey, whose Sixty-ninth Annual
Statement appears in another column
of this issue. Life Insurance is far
reaching protection.
The Mutual Benefit, which is one
of the oldest and best insurance COM
panics, offers Endowment contracts
at Life rates, giving, in addition to
protection for the family, protection
to old age, and, further, these con-
tracts have values all during their
terms, representing the greatest part
of the paymenta made.
