Excerpt from Laboratory Manual for the Detection of Poisons and Powerful Drugs, Authorized Translation

Additional matter in Detection of Poisons has made the fourth edition considerably larger than the third. The seven chapters now comprised in the book have been entirely revised but the first three chapters remain unchanged in arrangement. Chapter I treats of poisons volatile with steam. Organic poisons, especially the alkaloids, form the subject of Chapter II. Hydrastine and veronal, introduced into this chapter for the first time, have been incorporated into the stas-otto process. Chapter III deals with metallic poisons.

The toxic substances included in Chapter IV find no place in the three groups just mentioned. As they seldom appear in toxicological examinations, their significance is theoretical rather than practical. The following members of this group have been introduced for the first time, namely, cantharidin', cytisine, ergot, papaverine, pilocarpine, saponin substances, solanine, thebaine, and the toxalbumins, ricin, abrin and crotin.
