***Poisonings by Mistake - The carelessness of a chemist at Canterbury has caused much anxiety in that city. A young man named Cole being unwell, his wife purchased a black draught and blue pill at the shop of Mr. Reeve. The pill was administered in due form at night, the draught in the morning. About an hour after taking the draught he became unable to walk, was got into bed, became drowsy, and in three hours died. He was buried; but the suddenness of his death occasioning talk, his corpse was exhumed and examined; and was found to contain laudanum in considerable quantity. In fact, in making up the medicine, the shopman had taken up a bottle from which the label had dropped, and which contained laudanum, and used it for a constituent of the black draught, in proporiton at least one-third of the whole. The chemist was committed on a charge of manslaughter. It is well known that the formula of "blue pill and black draught" is highly popular and in great request; it is frequently made in considerable quantities; and this fatal phial appears to have contained only its proportion of a large decoction. Consequently the alram spread far and wide. Many persons had taken a "blue pill and black draught," purchased at Mr. Reeve's shop; many had been violently affected after it, and some were said to have died. The corpse of another person was disinterred and an inquest held; but the circumstances clearly pointed to a natural death. It does not appear that death was in any other case reasonably traced to the carelessness of Mr. Reeve or his shopman. Annual Register 1859

"February 13, 1869, The Lancet" The thirty-second annual report of the Canterbury Dispensary has reached us. It states that duing 1868 more persons were admitted than in any former year to the benefit of the institution. Out of 1775 patients, 1574 were visited at their own homes. A very commendable feature of the institution is the practice of giving trusses to those affected with hernia. During the year 61 persons were supplied with trusses, representing a large amount of relief from great personal discomfort and danger. Scarlet fever prevailed in Canterbury in an epidemic form amongst the dispensary patients.
