SUICIDE BY POISONING.
THE SALE OF LYSOL. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. J Thames," Monday. The adjourned inquest on the body of Charles Henry Pell was concluded to-day. Evidence was given by Dr. Lapraik in regard to his visiting the deceased at his camp and treating him for lysol poisoning, and his subsequent removal to the Thames Hospital. " Both Dr. Lapraik and Dr. Walsh referred to the indiscriminate sale of lysol, which was shown to be a dangerous poison, and they expressed the opinion that some legal restriction should be placed on the sale of it as in the case of other poisons.
Sergeant Crean gave evidence ae regards a statement made by the deceased at the hospital to the effect that he had taken a bottle of lysol, as he was tired of living under his present conditions.
A verdict of suicide from lysol poisoning was returned, with a recommendation that some legal restrictions should be placed on the sale of lysol.
