Note 907 — PART IX.—INORGANIC POISONS. (continued 4)
Reading edition
Dr. Sutro has published a case (quoted by Taylor), in which the vapour of vermilion, applied externally, produced poisonous symptoms; yet, according to Polak, the Persians inhale it medicinally, smoking it with tobacco, catechu, mucilage, &c., the only bad effect being an occasional stomatitis.—Eulenberg, Gewerbe Hygiene, p. 741.
