Through the In fluence of these schools drug stores, called “Btatlonarea,” were established throughout Italy. Antidotes and disinfectants, classed with the opiates, were the main reme dies In the time of Cordns. The prin cipal representatives of those were the two electuaries, "Therlus” and "Mlthridat.” Mlthrldnt was a com pound Invented by Mlthrldus Euputor, king of I’ontus, who lived In constant fear of poison and studied toxicology by testing poisons on criminals and j taking their antidotes himself every day. 11 in sysii'iii ijcrtinie mi unu»iuiucu to poisons that when, on the duy of his defeat by Pojnpey, lie attempted to poison himself, the poison failed and ! he ordered one of his soldiers to kill j him.
