If we go now to the cinchona alkaloids, we meet with exceedingly interesting results.
All these troublesome and destructive effects of uric acid poisoning may be greatly augmented by excessive accumulation of sulphuric, phosphoric and other acids, and by the formation of ptomaines and poisonous alkaloids during the metabolism of proteid substances.
"And by somebody who is au courant with the very latest and undetectable poison.

A happy chance has led Dr.
"Before we add any acid," said he, "or introduce any fresh matter, we will adopt the simple preliminary measure of tasting the solution.
