POISONING DUE TO DISEASED BREAD.

In the Lancet, recently, an English physician reports a history of irritant poisoning, the symptoms of which were diarrhea, epigastric pain and vomiting, the cause of which he referred to a loaf of bread which was moldy. Seven persons who had partaken of the bread were made sick; three others who had eaten none of it were not affected. Chemical analysis detected no mineral poison, and the sickness could not be referred to any other article of food or drink.
