Of various animal matters that 1t has dis

ing 1t in a dish over hot water and eva

separates from it in this way, which has
to be strained off, and the evaporation
over hot water is repeated
BECOMES ALMOST DRY.
A point is finally reached when the ma
terial in the dish becomes almost dry.
A little water and acid is stirred up with
it. and it is filtered through paper. To it
is then added. a little ammonia or potash
and some cloroforn or ether and the whole
is put in a bottle and is we'll shaken. The
ether or chloroform will dissolve any vege-
table poison that may be there and will
separate from the water part Of the mix
ture The next step will be to separate
the ether or chloroform portion in the bot
tie from the. water part and pour it OFT. 1t
is then evaporate1 and the poison SO long
sought is left In the little evaporating
vessel. When sufficiently purid ed the
poison is subjected TO the proper tests. and
the matter of investigation is closed.
The chemist at the beginning OF the
tedious operation can generally satisfy hln-
self of the existence or noa-existence of
poison, but as he cannot thus easily sat
isfy the lawyer and the court. he mas 10
OF course, it often happens that poison
is not discovered at all, and the innocence
Of the man accused Of murder is establish
ed. But it occasionally happens, too, that
after ali the labor expended in the opera
ton no poison can be detected, although
from the attendant circumstances 1t is
certain that ii was administered.
But such is the perfection of modern
analytical methods that there is generally
a very confident expectation OF detecting
the poison in the great majority of cases
where it IS present
The suspecting of poison from symptoms
is very delusive, since so many things re-
semble poisonS in effect. It is legally sus-
pected more commonly from the moral cir
cumstances. Thus. for instance. Coroner
Taylor iocuarly remarks. if a mother-in-
law dies quite suddenly and mysteriously.
the son-in-iaw- is usually and very properly
suspected OF murder. since it is quite "a
tionai for him to do such a thing.
There is nothing in the external appear
aace of the body as a general thing to
lead 70 the detection of death by poison
ing. The popular idea OF frotfing at the
mouth, the black or green color of the
body, swelling or puffiness of the body. or
rapid putrefaction are altogether worth
less as signs OF the operation of poisons.
