" This treatise is most interesting. It discusses the subject very fully from the sixteenth- century point of view, giving directions, for instance, as to the best way prelates and other holders of ecclesias- LIFE AND TIMES in tical preferment may guard themselves against being poisoned. Such persons should refrain from eating highly seasoned food, as sauces when prepared by any who could be suspected of such designs. Each morning they should take a little of one of the universal antidotes, eit...her mithridatium or theriaca, with a little conserve of roses, then drink some good wine or malvoisie, or eat of the leaves of the rue, with a nut and some dry figs. In case the poison has been swallowed he recom- mends emetics, enemata, and the administration of oil internally. Pare refers to the story currently told that Pope Clement VII, uncle of Catherine de Medici, was poisoned by the vapor of an envenomed torch, and to other cases of poisoning by the odors of substances. It will be recalled that perfumers as a class were fre- quently suspected of kilHng people by means of poi- soned perfumes.
