ARSENIC ADDICTS
ASSIMILATE POISON
Extremes to Which Human Sys-
tenn Can Go Are
Shown.

The extremes to which the human
system can go and yet survive is we'll
illustrated by the case of the arsenic
addicts who exist, for the most part. in
Syria, Austria. In the regular letter
from Vienna to the Journal of the
American Medical Society there Is a
report concerning this condition.
In many parts of our republic. but
especially in Syria. there are a great
many arsenic addictS-just as elsewhere
there are morphine and cocaine addicts
who through the ingestion of increas-
ing quantities of arsenic gradually be-
come almost immune to the poison"
says the letter. The people use the
arsenic as rat poison, for the deStruc-
ton of fungus spores on grain and as
tonic for horses. Hardly "A peasant
house is without arsenic, according to
investigation.
while the fatal dose is usually
placed at OIL gram, DR.. Knapp, at the
last session of the convention of ma
tural scientists held In Graz, presented
persons who in the presence OF the
gathering took o. grams of arsenic
without suffering serious consequences"
Syria is the classic land of arsenic
poisonings, and whenever there is sus-
ptcion OF murder by arsenic poisoning
the court always investigates to find
whether the victim was an arsenic
addict.
There seems but little limit to the
adaptability of the human system to
unusual conditions when an individual
can thus adapt himself to arsenic with
in the span of a lifetime Were the
water supply gradually contaminated
with poison extending over several gen.
erations people would doubtless reach
a stage where enormous quantities of
such material could be taken into the
system daily without injury. In fact.
it might be that the system would
eventually require it.

mood, and that together they went to
