A less fortunate case of poisoning by _Fungi_ is related in the twentieth volume of the same journal by _Mr. Parrott_, surgeon of Mitcham, of which the following is a sketch. The subject of the history was a family of six persons, viz. _William Attwood_, ætat. 45; _Eliza_, his wife, 38; and their daughters, _Mary_, æt. 14; _Hannah_, 11; _Sarah_, 7; _Eliza_, 5. They all ate stewed champignons, at one o’clock, on Monday the 10th of October, which stew was made in an iron vessel, and consisted of the articles already mentioned with the addition of butter and flour, pepper, salt, and water only; and each of the parties (_Hannah_ excepted) was supposed to have eaten more than half a pint. Within ten minutes after they had eaten their meal, they felt their spirits exhilarated, and the eldest daughter said to her mother “_how funny you look_.” All the parties continued cheerful till about six o’clock, when having taken their tea, they were attacked with stupor, which was soon succeeded, by severe pains in the bowels, accompanied with violent vomiting, and copious purging, which continued till the following afternoon, when the parents became alarmed and sent for the surgeon. The treatment which was pursued appears to have been, in every respect, judicious, and _Mary_ had so far recovered on the following day (Wednesday) that she walked into the village about a quarter of a mile from home; in the evening, however, the symptoms returned; on Thursday evening she became convulsed, and died on Friday morning at two o’clock. _Eliza_ did not complain much of her sufferings, but became convulsed at the same time as her sister, and died half an hour after her. _Sarah_ never complained of pain in the head, but was continually suffering under extreme pain in the bowels, which was aggravated by pressure, but no tension existed; she died on Saturday morning, in the same convulsed state as her sisters. A dog which had partaken of the stew died on the Wednesday night, apparently in great agony. The father recovered, the mother, who was two months advanced in pregnancy, miscarried, but ultimately became convalescent. _Mr. Wheeler_, of St. Bartholomew’s hospital, a gentleman who has been long known to the profession as an eminent botanist, no sooner heard of the event than he repaired to the spot where the mushrooms had been gathered, when he immediately recognised the _Agaricus semi-globatus_, which had nearly proved fatal in the instance related by _Mr. E. Brande_, and which, upon being shewn to the father, he instantly pronounced to be similar to those, of which the family had so unfortunately eaten. _Organic Lesions discovered on Dissection._
