"Unfortunately, yes; he made use of aconitine for that otherwise laudable purpose. Now, as ill luck would have it" Mayfield's wrinkles deepened "Yorke-Bannerman and Sebastian, then two rising doctors engaged in physiological researches together, had just been occupied in experimenting upon this very drug testing the use of aconitine.
It was some minutes, however, before the detective had collected sufficient breath to answer intelligently. "I size it up this way," he began with a resentful glance at Kent who had dropped back in his chair again. "Rochester knew his friend had heart disease and that his sudden death would be attributed to it so he took a sporting chance and administered a fatal dose of aconitine."
Emetics freely; infusions containing tannin, as coffee, tea, oak-bark, galls, etc. Stimulants. Hypodermic injection of 1/120 grain of aconitine. Method of Extraction from the Stomach, etc. Use Stas-Otto process. Tests for Digitalin. A white substance, sparingly soluble in water, not changed by nitric acid; turns yellow, changing to green, with hydrochloric acid.
Stone considered the question. "You might be able to purchase it from some Hindoo residing or traveling in the United States," he said, after a pause. "I doubt if you could buy it in a drug store." Kent heaved a sigh of relief as he hitched his chair closer to the physician. "Did you prescribe a dose of aconitine for Mrs. Brewster recently?" he asked.

"'Killed by a dose of aconitine by a person or persons unknown, was the jury's verdict, and a nice tangle they have left me to ferret out. "You?" "Yes. I'm going to solve this mystery if it is a possible thing." Kent's tone was grim. "And Colonel McIntyre only gave me until Saturday night to work in." Clymer eyed him in surprise.
Kent rose with the others and started to follow them to the door, but Grimes beckoned him to approach the bed. The butler waited until he heard McIntyre's heavy tread and the lighter footfall of the detective recede down the hall before speaking. "I was only going to say, sir," he whispered as Kent, at a sign from him, stooped over the bed, "I got a box of aconitine pills for Mrs.

Could anything be plainer I mean, could any combination of fortuitous circumstances" he blinked pleasantly again "be more adverse to an advocate sincerely convinced of his client's innocence as a professional duty?"

'What have you found, Sybil? said Lord Arthur, looking up from his work, and smiling. 'This lovely little silver bonbonniere, Arthur. Isn't it quaint and Dutch? Do give it to me! I know amethysts won't become me till I am over eighty. It was the box that had held the aconitine. Lord Arthur started, and a faint blush came into his cheek.
