DEATH IN A TWIG
Care in the biting or chewing of plants is again'suggested by a sad ease at Bridlington, Yorkshire, where a verdict of death by misadventure, was returned at an inquest on Marjorie Martin. Flowers and twigs were given to the scholars to take home when school broke up. The children had taken the flowers for decorating the classroom, and the child took some of the twigs away with her. An analytical report ■showed that she hnd swallowed young twigs of horse chestnut, and death was caused by alkaloid poisoning.
