Cartoon titled Poisoning by Food Adulteration. In November 1858 a confectioner bought Plaster of Paris from a druggist to add to lozenges. Instead of Plaster of Paris he was accidently sold arsenic. 20 died out of the 200-odd people poisoned. This case gave ammunition to those trying to get legislation against food adulteration through Parliament (Scholfield Act of 1859). Illustrated by John Leech (1817-1864) an English caricaturist and illustrator. Dated 19th century 01/02/1860
