That death by adulteration was a real possibility is attested by a mid-nineteenth-century tombstone to be found in Eshaness, the Shetland Islands, which reads: "Donald Robertson, born 14thJanuary 1785. Died 14thJune aged 63. He was a peaceable, quiet man, and to all appearances a sincere Christian. His death was much regretted which was caused by the stupidity of Laurence Tulloch of Clothister (Sullom) who sold him nitre instead of Epsom Salts by which he was killed in the space of five hours after taking a dose of it."
