The poisonous properties of the toad
have long been regarded as fabulous;
hut recent investigation has proved
that the skin of species of toad Sc
cretes a poison similar in action to
digitalis. The venom of the toad has
had thu reputation of possessing pois-
onous properties from a very early
period and was probably one of the

q toad into his wine was regarded as

of the toad secretes body the active
principle of which, 'phrynin," is a
poison of considerable power.
