Um', far mould you, as a chemist, rely
upon Reisset's test, wheb the quantity

test goes, it cis sat admirable-'-test,
butT should not rely- upon Reiuseh's
test e - tclusively for determining the ques

connected with a .inedico-legal examina

questionably determined by Pminsch's
test. I would employ other torts along

Reinseh's. If not enough for all, I.
would prefer March's test. The• 'deter

one test admits of questioning. To the

(17.15 limited to one test, with a. small
quantity, I would prefer Marsh's teat,
bee:tune I can work with it more ac
curately. I think it is more decided,
and gives the absoluie proof--the metal
itself, in the form of a metallic mirror,
and a metallic spot, from which
metallic mirror and spot we may
procure other testa. Marsh's tent
enables us to snake further tests'
than Reinach's ; though as a trial test
it is generally customary to emplOy
Rebishh's test. A drop of Fowler's
solution; ,falling upon a box such as
that analyzed by Dr. Rand, the arsenic
could be detected with the greatest
ease by
~the process followed
Rand, by a skillful chemist, and even
much lens quantity than a drop. To
satisfy ourselves upon that point, we
made the experitnents detailed by Dr.
Rodgers yesterday, with respectively
the tenth of a drop of Fowler', solu
tion equivalent to one-twelve hun
dredth of a 'grain of arsenic ; anti the
fiftieth of a drop, equivalent to one
six thousandths of it grain of arsenic.
These small quantities' being allowed
to fall «poll the lid of a wooden box
such 04 described. On testing these
portions of the box, by Reinseat's pro
cess, as. periormed by Prof. Rand, we
procured in belt' cases the dark deposit
on the , copper; which when subjected
to beat in the small test tubes, afforded
white sublimates, which undeNa very

everything but arsenic., For a, very ac
curate quantitative analysis 'I should
have proceeded a little further than Dr.
Rand did. I think Dr. Band assumed
that the sulphide of arsenic obtained by
drying the ammonia solution "Was-Jper
reedy pure. In myexperience this is not
the fact, as it would contain more or leas
of organic matter, derived from the sub
stance analyzed, and likewise some pre
cipitated sulphur, which would materi
ally increase its weight, and thereby lend
to an overestimate of the amount of the
arsenic. I do not think it possible to
gut rid of all this organic matter and
sulphur, by simply dissolving this
yellow substance in ammonia. - Tho
only method of entirely getting rid of
the organic matter and sulphur is •by
inners of calcination. To effect this we•
add a few drops of strong, filming nitric
acid, and t tali a mixture of dry carbon-e
are iif soda and nitrdto of soda, and then
expos& to a gradual beat in a crucible,
until the ClllOlOlll3BB rs fusedand becomes
:Velem transparent soltition. Then we
know that . all_the organic matter has
hem% destroyed—not a' tit ape can' re
main behind: Ent wobakein't done with
it yet. e we must next get rid of all
the nitric acid and any trace of chlorine
that may be present. This is done by
adding a little etrongsulphurid acid,..and
evaporating ..to _dryness. Now we have
'the arsenhi in a new combination, but
still all of it there, in the form of arsen
ito of soda. This mass consists now
only of salts, no organic matter what
ever. We dissolve this, and by means off
sulphurous acid, bring back the arsenic
acid to its original condition of arsenous
acid, by taking away a portion of its
oxygen. Now we have it in the state for
obtaining the ultimate pure sulphuret,
by transmitting. through it sulphureted
hydrogen gas. All this complicated
process is togct rid of the organic matter
and sulphur. If now, the dried sal
phurat be accurately weighted, we can
determine precisely what amount of ar
m:ue was originally present in the mat
ter submitted for analysts. Sulphide.
and mulphuret are synonymous terms.
There is no other method of ghttlng rid
of organic matter and sulphur. If the
sulphide (het obtajvied, and dissolved in
ammonia and dried, had been subjected
over and over again to aetian of hydro
chloric avid. and chlorate potassa, as
described by Dr. Hand in till, 11111 i, pot•-
Lltlll his process; it is possible that the
amount of "organic matter, might have.
been diminished somewhat, but I do not'
think the amount of precipitated sulphur•
woular .— Dr. Rand's object undoubtedly
was, in passing a stream of sulehureted
hydrogen grin through an acidulated solu
boll containing arsenic and oronio
matter forseveral days, to precipitate the
whole of the arsenic that !night be present
but in so doing there would necessarily be
likewise precipitated, not only a eon/ad
orable amount of organic matter, but
I Ite"Wine of sulphur. The amount uf
sul
pheir precipitated - would - be - 1 nCreased
the length of time employed in this pro
cons, 'oven if no insigne wore present in
-an acidulated solution and a stream-of

hir a eonsidetalde length of time, de

color. Every material need by an analy
tical chemist in medico-legal examlita
tions for rr,i.ou, should be .absohnely
elietnically pine :. and stilphureteit •liy
&ogee should not form an exception. In
such an examination' all -possibility of
intrOtteing - the poison which we are
searching for, should be rigidly excluded,
Sulphide of iron does tioteetitnes don
tain anionic 38 all linearity, and that is
the reason why the purity of the gas
should be first determined, There is 'a
eusnibility that some of the impurity,
.might got into the matter being tented,
and thus vitiate the reeult. A very mi
nute quantity of arsenic, whew tested by
Beinach's process, Will produce a coat
rig on a large proportionate amount of
copper surface ; and ii piece of copper foil
so coated will yield quite a number of
small, eight-sided crystals, visible its the
microscope. • In using Itellinclen test
there is always a little organic reactor
deposited on the copper_tyith the arsenic,
and how' far the presence of thin organic
matter would interfere with the sublinia
tion oG the crystals, I am unable to say:
rtltivlc It probable that arsenic, le a
solutiUn containing organic matter,
might be deposited on copper foil more
slOwly in Itelmieli'm teat than If the mat-.
for were perfectly pure, but the presence
of reiganie matter will not prevent the
deposit of arsenic, if Deno be giett ' ,In
passing salphuroted hydrogen through
an acidulated solution containing organic
'matter, and. continuing the 'process for
sonic um, 'if there be any arsenic pres
ent, the precipitate thus produced will
consist of a Mixture of the arsenic in Ui
form of o sulpidde,..together with 'a tom.
enterable portion of the organic matter
and free sulphur; the amount. of the

We have an example of this in the'nitrate

be no exception to this general rule, so'
far as the fact of its distribution in the
liver and other organs of the body-la con
corned. The length of time which, it
may he retsrned, as I have already stated,
depends upon the fact of its being gtven
in a single, large done, or in small, Iliac
tional, or medicinal doses, extended over
a considerable space of time. The
length of time which arsenic may be
thus retained has not been precisely de
termined, but I think it certain that it
may be thuS retained in the organs for'a
much longer period of time than .:if it
were given in a single large dose, We
have on record canes whin substantiate
this. I give this as - my opinion. - There

would be to fuse the terselplrldo'or ar
senic with carbonate of soda and nitrate
of soda. The process might be varied ;
but not essentially changed: In this case,
if arsenic were present, it would appear
in the form of soluble areenate'of soda,
which could be subjected to further.
tests for arrinie, I think the process used
by Dr. Rand would not have destroyed
the orgaidq matter. Sulphide& arsenic, •
of antimony, of tin, of cadmium - Ir, and or
ganic matter, might have been carried
down in the ammonia solution and
traces or sulphur. After evaporation,
we 'would have these substances left.
We could 'not calculate the quantity
of arsenic withotit farther process. The
precipitate obtained by Dr. Rand might
mutate these sulphides, 'if the corms

the liquid acted upon by hydro sulphuric
acid, 'lf he,had determined the absence
of all these snbatancee except the
arsenic,. this precipitate would contain
only teraulphide of arsenic, organic mat

It would be teraulphide of arsenic in the
amemeiacal solution. I could not from'
the weight of this residue eetimate the
quantity of arsenious acid. I couldn't
tell how much organic matter he would
have' in the residue. I could not give any
idea of the quantity of organic matter in
the residue ; it would vary. The quantity
would depend somewhat upon the amou nt
of organic matter originally treated.

Da. Geo. rtroinit, sworn.-7 lire in_
Mechanicsburg. Have been 'practicing
medicine since Ma I know of no poison
that would taste bitter. I know of nit
poison that would make -coireo black.
Stryelinia would- be bitter, but would not
cause her to throw tip. -If it is true that
arsenic will accumulate in the system,
then tlfisAtiantity found by Dr. Band
might be the result of medical treninent. -
1 think Dr. Zitzer' a .arsenical 'treatment -
was' right if
,the patient had in large
ovarium tumor, as he represents. It would
depend on the time she quit using arsenic,
end the time slit i died, whether tiny of it
could be found after death. There might.
hero been a mends between. If ,hr had
taken arsenic in medical doses tip to the
time of death, they might have found sonic
utter death. When given in small doses
it has a tendency 'to diffuse itself through , .
the system more titan saliewgiven in large
doses. The arsenical treatment she was
under was sufficient to produce irritation_'
of the stomach, and that irritation might
have been excited, by some other cause,
into acute iullainmation. Bhe might have.
taken, cold, or eaten acme indigestible .
lbod. end that might have predimed it. .
Cron exanainid.—l think bichromate
of potash and lugwood in a cup of coins
would make a porsonyomit, if insufficient
quantity. If five grains of arsenic were
taken, there would be such intense
vomiting that not much could be found'
after death. -It would be mote rapidly
eliminated from the system, in the shape
of Fowler's solution. Some authors say
it sometimes,aceutuul..t...4. I believe Tay
lor and Wortidy say it will not accumu
hac in the system. Dr. Wood says it
does accumulate, in his old edition. I
don't know any author of recent date,
who lays if down that it qoes accumulate.
It is doubtful 'whether n grain ci
.arsenic
could be found in the Ptinnuth, when ten
days had Amami before death, which
none of howler's SOilltioll bad been taken.
Liquid arsenic is carried oil into the cir
culation immediately. Fowler's solution
?would, be gcadintlly eliminated front the
systimi! If would cause swelling of the
e ye lids and other cellitlai tismies. I think
the•great est part of the arsenic would be
eliminated from the ..yttem, its tdminia-
Station covering the period of a month.
In ailminddration of-itrsonic, - I see the pa
tient fNqi.ently bave given. Fowler's
solution to patient to take same, where J
felt moused patient was prudent. The
effect of arsenic is different with different
perteins. An overdose would have a
-vitlentirrit ing-effeet.—shawing i
