Arsenic is a metal much used In
the arts and also as a medicine.
On the unbroken skin il has no eft
feet but on raw or abraded surfaces
il acts as a powerful caustic. Arsen-
is paste is much employed by quacks
in their so-called cancer cure. Many
poor dupes have submitted them
selves to this treatment only to find
that what was In a reality a sore or
| ulcer becomes so irritated that 1t de-
velops into an inoperable cancer.
