KILLED BY BAD TEETH.
Blood poisoning caused by bad teeth and gums was the only theory put forward at the inquest at Nottingham on Emma Chapman, who died suddenly after a doctor had prescribed a medicine and a gargle for a sore throat. A doctor said he could not find .any cause of death. The arms and hands were red as if the woman had died from gas poisoning, but there was no gas in the room in which she died. The city analyst found a small quantity of quinine in the stomach. A verdict that death was due to blood poisoning was returned. The coroner said he knew of cases where bad teeth had caused blood poisoning and it was possible that this was a similar case.
