THE POISON-MAIDENS OF THE ANCIENT INDIANS." PUELLÆ VENEFICÆ," or poison-maidens, constituted a feature peculiar

, to the ancient Hindoo civilisation-young women, that is to say, who

II had been inured to the ingestion of poison, and who had power tokill all who came in contact with them. To which of the two main

classes into which Susruta divides poisons-the "venena stabilia"(vegetable and mineral) and " venena mobilia " (animal) poisons-these women owed their fatal gift, has not been made clear. Susruta,however, has no doubt of the reality of that gift. Steinschneider, inhis "Toxicologische Schriften der Araber bis Ende des xiiiten Jahr-hundert" (Toxicological writings of the Arabs up to the close of the13th century), adduces from the Hawi of Rhazes a passage to thefollowing effect : "Æthiopes quando volunt occidere principes, nutri.unt puellas veneno .... et earum saliva periit gallinas et alia

animalia, et muscse fugiunt eas" (When the Ethiopians [Indians]want to kill their chiefs, they feed girls with poison....and thesaliva of these is fatal to hens and other animals, and flies shunthem). The whole subject forms a curious page in the history ofmedicine.

C. G. H.-We do not see that our correspondent was to blame, especiallyas he warned the registrar. The responsibility lay on him to acceptit, or inform the coroner. We think the better course in such casesis for the medical attendant to notify the coroner at once, stating thefacts, with the intimation that he is or is not prepared to certify thecause of death " to the best of his belief." Since life assurance is so

largely undertaken, it is well to think of the contingency of refusal topay when considering the matter of death certification.

EXAMINATIONS OF THE APOTHECARIES’ SOCIETY.

To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,-A few weeks ago you kindly allowed me space in your columnsfor a few lines in regard to the examinations in anatomy of the

Apothecaries’ Society. I was glad to see at the last examination thatthe bodies were not only well injected, but were beautiful specimens ofdissection. This is a great boon to candidates, and makes the test avery fair one. Perhaps the Society, with its usual consideration for

the interests of the students, will make them another small concession-i e , that they should be required to attend for the oral examination in

batches-alphabetically or otherwise-at different times. It does notconduce to the chances of passing of those who feel the necessity ofhaving a clear head to be confined in a room with sixty or seventyothers, all engaged in conversation, from 2 P.M. until, in some cases,7 or 8 P.M., before being examined. This was a very general cause ofcomplaint last time. I am, Sirs, yours faithfully,

OXYGEN STORAGE. STERILISED MILK.
