Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Detection of Poisons by Medico-Chemical Analysis I have been repeatedly requested by several apothecaries, who have followed with advantage the method for the detection of arsenic in chemico-legal examinations, as laid down in my "Hand-book of Chemistry," to furnish them with a similar method for the detection of other poisons. In preparing the chapter "On the Detection of Arsenic," for the last edition of my "Hand-book of Chemistry," I resolved to comply with their wishes, and it is thus that this manual of chemico-legal analysis originated; the chapter "On the Detection of Arsenic," is a reprint from the "Hand-book." All the methods contained in this manual have been tried in my laboratory; they are written down from personal experience and, I think, are deserving of confidence on that account. In the investigations on the detection of the organic poisons, I have had the valuable assistance of Mr. Von Pollnitz, to whom I beg to express my sincere thanks.
