This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...crystals, and was manufactured from the calcium compound obtained from Kuhnheim & Co., in Berlin. Exp. 1.--Dog weighing 6850 grams received by the oesophageal tube on March 10, 1888, one o'clock, .5 gram Martius' yellow sodium salt suspended in about 25 c.c. of water. 1.10, strong efforts at vomiting. At 6 o'clock vomiting occurred. March nth, 10 o'clock A. M., animal very weak, rectal temperature 40.80, vomiting and diarrhoea, urine rather darker than the salt administered and containing traces of albumin. Strongly acidulated with sulphuric acid, it yielded a weak, yellow-colored extract ether. Sodium hydroxide solution added to the ether colors it a pure yellow and becomes itself colored. Addition of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid renders the urine turbid by separation of free dinitronaphthol. No injection was made at this date. March I2th, one o'clock, .5 gram was given by the oesophageal tube. 1. 10, vomiting; animal was then lively with normal breathing. March 13th, diarrhoea, but lively and ate at midday; albumin in urine. March 14th, 11 o'clock, 1 gram by the oesophageal tube. Efforts at vomiting, but up to three o'clock in the afternoon no actual vomiting occurred. March 15th, animal was found dead in its cage. Post-mortem was accidentally omitted. Exp. 2.--Dog weighing 5700 grams received, March 22d, o. 1 gram by the oesophageal tube. March 28th, five living pups were born. March 24th to 29th, animal and progeny remained in good health. Experiment No. 1 indicates the poisonous quality of Martius' yellow when administered by the stomach, since any other cause of death seems to be excluded. The following experiments, in which the color was administered subcutaneously, are more positive in their indications. Exp. j.--Dog weighing 5800 grams received.
