His every move was reported to the big Bwana just what animals he killed and how many of each species, how he killed them, too, for Bwana would not permit the use of prussic acid or strychnine; and how he treated his "boys."
There are some regions, very near settlements, where it is perhaps justifiable to poison these beasts. If you are a true sportsman you will confine your hound-hunting to those districts. Elsewhere, as far as playing fair with a noble beast is concerned, you may as well toss a coin to see which you shall take-your pack or a strychnine bottle. We made our way slowly down the river.
Some one had tampered with the leaden water pipes and the electric light cable. Fearful that the lead poisoning brought on by electrolysis might not produce its result in the intended victim, that person took advantage of the new discoveries in electrolysis to complete that work by introducing the deadly strychnine during the very process of cure of the lead poisoning."
They leave the fisher-cat, an' the mink, an' the ermine, an' the marten; but the lynx sacré an' damn! they jump on him an' pull the fur from him like you pull the wild cotton balls from the burn-bush! I have tried strychnine in deer fat, an' I have set traps and deadfalls, but I can not catch them.
Years afterwards it was put down to the account of Palmer the poisoner, who it was said had administered strychnine to Lord George as he did to some other members of the aristocracy. But what was Palmer's motive? Had Lord George and he any betting transactions together in which Palmer had lost, and finding himself unable to pay, destroyed his noble creditor with diabolical secrecy?
I hurried back, and found the doctor giving injections of strychnine and brandy which seemed to be reviving her. While we were all standing round her, she said quite clearly 'I want to see Philip Buntingford. Dr. Ramsay knelt down beside her, and asked her to tell him, if she was strong enough, why she wanted to see you.
Both the nurse and the doctor, who had withdrawn a little distance from the family group, came forward. "Doctor, give me some strength," said the laboring voice, not without its old wilfulness of accent. He moved his arm towards the young homoeopath, who injected strychnine. Then he looked at the nurse. "Brandy and lift me." All was done as he desired. "Now go, please," he said to his sons.
We should only expose ourselves to the risk of a like fate. He was subsequently poisoned by strychnine put into the carcass of the ox, and I still have his claws. "So with scared and heavy hearts we crept back to the skerm, and sat down to wait for the dawn, which now could not be much more than an hour off.
"I said because I had not enough strychnine. It would take a great deal of strychnine to poison three elephants effectually," answered the old gentleman testily. I said nothing further, but I smiled, knowing that old Allan could never have resorted to such an artifice, however severe his strait. But that was his way; he always made himself out to be a most unmerciful person.
"Alkaloids," he continued quietly, "as you know, have names that end in 'in' or 'ine' morphine, strychnine, and so on. Now there are two kinds of alkaloids which are sometimes called vegetable and animal. Moreover, there is a large class of which we are learning much which are called the ptomaines from ptoma, a corpse.
