FOOTNOTES: [A] In the year 1839, a young lady residing in the north of England took about half a pound of salt to rid herself of worms. Very soon afterwards she began to suffer from all the effects of an irritant poison, with general paralysis; and in spite of the use of the stomach pump and of antidotes, she died in a few hours. Dr. Christison has recorded two somewhat similar cases.
