QUESTION: 24th June 2010

Question Courtesy: Anurag Gogoi (Vice President, DQF)

It is believed that Rasputin was able to resist the poison of assassins due to this particular practice of protecting oneself against a poison by gradually self-administering non-lethal amounts. The word derives from_______________, the King of Pontus, who so feared being poisoned that he regularly ingested small doses, aiming to develop immunity. Having been defeated by Pompey, legend has it that ______________ tried to commit suicide using poison but failed because of his immunity and so had to resort to having a mercenary run him through with his sword.

Name the practice or the King.
