A FATAL SHAMPOO.
LONDON, October 12. The authorities have withdrawn the manslaughter charge against the manager of Harrod's hairdressing establishment, and a female assistant, in connection with the death of Miss Helenora Dalrymple (daughter of the late Sir Robert Dalrymple), owing to a shampoo. During a long magisterial inquiry many experts testified to the danger of the process used, and Messrs. Harrod promised not to use tetra-chloride of carbon in future. While Miss Dalrymple was undergoing a dry shampoo, she accidentally inhaled the fumes of tetra-chloride of carbon, which was used in the preparation, death resulting from heart failure.
