ARROW POISON. “In 1889 Henry Morton Stanley reported to the Royal Geographical Society “that several of his party, being hit by the arrows of the natives, died almost immediately in great agony. The poison was found to consist of the bodies of red ants, ground to a fine powder, and then cooked in palm-oil. This mixture was smeared on the arrow-heads.”
