Excerpt from The British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review, or Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 38: July-October, 1866 Dr. Taylor gives some valuable rules for the guidance of the practitioner, as to what is to be Observed, and what is to be done, In ordinary cases of death by poisoning; but we think he has made an omission of some importance, in not directing a portion of the blood to be preserved for analysis, nor do we believe that a partial chemical examination of the contents of the stomach at the time of the inspection (recommended by him) will be followed by any good result, but rather occasion a loss of material, which may give rise to future inconvenience.
