Synopsis

This book, a classic guide to toxicology, provides laboratory directions for detecting poisons and dangerously potent drugs in various substances. The author's intent was to equip medical and pharmacy students with practical, foundational knowledge to perform toxicological analyses. The text is particularly focused on organic poisons, such as quinine, phenacetine, and cocaine, as well as common drugs with strong therapeutic effects like sulphonal. The book also includes quantitative estimation methods for determining the presence of certain active principles in crude materials, including caffeine and nicotine. It delves into biological detection methods for blood and arsenic, reflecting the state of the art in the field at the time of its writing. The author's insights on the fate, distribution, and elimination of poisons in the animal body are particularly valuable, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
