Various Toxic Agents Used in DIFF

From the Pharmaceutical Journal
There has attached to the subject of
poisons from the earliest ages an inter
est and Importance, both deep and easily
to be accounted for. The mysterious and
terrible power Of dealing death in cup
of wine, dish of food-a breath OF per-
fume even, or by the needle-scratch of a
poisoned weapon-all these combined with
the absence Of antidotes and the lack of
oil certain knowledge of the mode OF ac
ton, the terrible pain and quickly fatal
termination of tragedy, have combined
TO attract and fix a fascinated
attention 10 the subject. Il would
seem that the first poisonous effects no.
ticed were due to blood poisoning from
infected wounds. The savage probably
found that the weapon, when stained with
the blood Of former victims inflicted more
deadly wounds than when clean. The
next step would be to smear the blade
with all manner Of evil-smelling pastes.

Destroys the Liver Cells.
Chicago, March 5.-The Times-Herald
will say tomorrow: CDR Edwin Klebs,
professor of pathology and bacteriology,
in the post graduate medical school, has
discovered the cause of yellow fever AS
a result of a series of experiments extend
ing over two months he has isolated the
amoeba, which is without doubt response
Bile for the disease, and he has been able
to trace its developments through a num-
Der of stages in the various organs of the
body.
1.-THE germ is not a bacillus but an
amoeba. 1t causes Inflammation of the
stomach when swallowed, and then in the
duodenum it assumes true sportunating
FORM appearing here much like black
berry. From there it migrates to the
liver, where it appears as a large struc-
tureless body about twice the size of the
red blood corpusele. It's effect is the rapid
degeneration of the liver cells.
while Prof. KIebs is confident he has
obtained the yellow fever germ, he will
not make any scientific claim in that di-
rection until he has been able to obtain
liver germs and make cultures and animal
experiments with them"
