At the inquest on Edmund Black, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Napier who was found dead in a stable with a bottle of prussic acid beside him, the evidence failed to disclose any motive for self-destruction.

The verdict was that he died from poison self-administered, and that no one was to blame.

The following from a British Medical Journal, written by a medical man, should be interesting at the present time. He says: "Prohibitionists are busy collecting statistics and advocating total abstinence from malt liquors, at the same time saying, that if people want to shout or go through the formula of drinking let them drink or shout aerated waters. They point out the injurious effects of malt liquor on the system and class it amongst rank poisons, but they are not aware that the substitute they suggest is very much more injurious to the digestive system than pure malt liquors. In many factories these aerated waters are merely a decoction of whiting, which generates sulphuric acid, and should be carefully eschewed by any one with weak digestive systems. Chronic dyspetics very often under a mistaken idea shun tea, coffee, and cocoa, and substitute therefor milk anl soda, but in doing so are only aggravating their complaint. If they put a small pinch of bi-carbonate of soda in the milk they would find a much more benelicicl effect. Should the Prohibitionists ever carry their point and people take to these non intoxicating beverages, before a generation has passed away wo shall bo a nation of chronic dyspeptics. They should be carofully kept rom children, who are much more susceptible to their evil effects than adults."
