Excerpt from Poisoning by Arseniuretted Hydrogen or Hydrogen Arsenide: Its Properties, Sources, Relations to Scientific and Industrial Operations, Symptoms, Post-Mortem Appearances, Treatment,& Prevention: With a Record of One Hundred and Twenty Cases by Different Observers
The following pages are the outcome of an investigation into the literature of poisoning by Arseniuretted Hydrogen consequent upon two cases which came within the experience of the writer.
Notwithstanding the extremely poisonous character of this gas, it is surprising what little attention, comparatively speaking, has hitherto been paid to it in books devoted to Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, or, indeed, in the literature of medicine generally. From the occurrence of its toxic effects among persons engaged in very varied scientific and industrial pursuits, perhaps too little heed has been given to its incidence from the point of view of prevention.
Up till now, so far as we are aware, there has not been any systematic treatment of the subject, if we except a monograph by Geigy which deals with the record of thirty-seven cases, that of Lucas, with only a few, and some of these already recorded by Geigy, an article in one of our English medical periodicals by Dixon Mann and Clegg, which adds twelve additional cases, and some articles relative to the toxic results upon persons especially connected with military ballooning.
