This historical text offers valuable insights into the scientific and legal challenges of diagnosing poisoning in the era before modern toxicology. The book's detailed analysis and historical context make it an essential resource for those interested in the history of forensic science and the evolution of medical jurisprudence. The inclusion of the Palmer case, a sensational poisoning trial, adds to the book's significance and enduring appeal.
