A DEADLY TOXIN.
SALTSPOONiFUL TO KILL
MILLION .\JEN
London, Sept. 5. “There is a toxin which could be employed to kill million! of men,” declares Professor Leonard Hill, in Contrasting: the power of the scientific laboratory with imodefrn war machinery. “If men are as susceptible as guinea pigs to the toxin, which shall be nameless, and there is every reason to think they are, it would appear that one saltspoonful of this dry toxin would suffice to kill a million of men. The toxin acts if inhaled or if it falls on the eye in a powder. If such a toxin were prepaired and scattered from an aeroplane, what would be the use of the panoply of war?”
