The penalty laid down by law for the manufacture of virulent ponons capable of causing death or of allowing others to magu facture such poisons is death by decapitation, and a similar penalty is inflicted for the use of such poisons for causing death or knowingly, selling them to, oibers for that purpose. Now, the manufacture of poisonous syringes and the selling of them 10 others for the purpose of satisfying the opium craving whoreby they are compelled to continue to une them until death ensues, is identical with the manufacture of virulent poispos that cause death.
