There was once a distinguished physician in London, the Spectator says, who used to tell his pupils that they should never dismiss from their minds the possibility of murder in the case of. a mysterious illness, however little sus-, picious the circumstances, might "be. And he used to quote his experience when he was called into consultation with a local practitioner who was baffled by the illness of a clergyman’s wife. The physician asked the clergyman, “Has the possibility of poisoning occurred, to you?” “It has,” was the answer, “and I have been so careful to guard against it that I have actually made it a practice to prepare my wife’s food myself.” “Then I dismiss the thought,” replied the physician, suavely; “but as I have already taken a sample of the food I found in the bedroom, I may as well analyse it in Lon-; don as a matter of form.” The clergy-, man 'thanked the physician for- his scrupulous care. The latter returned to London and the former shot himself. The wife recovered, and—this may be embroidery—erected a memorial'to her husband in the parish church.
