  blow to pieces the cocksure evidence of the leading expert in pathology?
  It may seem impossible that such a thing can ever happen againa mistake
  regarding      the  action   of   arsenic   on   the  human      body。    But    when    we
  discover it becoming a commonplace of science that one human may be
  poisoned   by   an   everyday   substance   which   thousands   of   his   fellows   eat
  with enjoyment as well as impunitya substance; for instance; as everyday
  as porridgewho will dare say even now that the last word has been said
  and written of arsenic?
  But that; as the late George Moore so doted on saying; is quelconque。
  M。 Orfila; sure about the grocer of the Rue de la Paix; was defeated by M。
  Barruel。     M。 Orfila; sure about the death of Charles Lafarge; is declared
  by to…day's experts in criminal jurisprudence and pathology to have been
  talking through   his hat。       According to   the present   experts; says   ‘‘Philip
  Curtin;''    Lafarge    was    not  poisoned     at  all;  but   died   a  natural    death。
  Because of M。 Devergie it was for the Veuve Lacoste as much ‘touch and
  go'   as   it   was   for   the   Veuve   Boursier   twenty   years   before。 Well   might
  Marie…Fortunee   Lafarge;   hearing   in   prison   of   the   verdict   in   the   Lacoste
  trial; say; ‘‘Ma condamnation a sauve Madame Lacoste!''
  In all this there's a moral lesson somewhere; but I'm blessed if I can
  put my finger on it。
