Note 413 — Chapter VI · OF POISONING WITH OXALIC ACID.
Reading edition
London Medical Gazette, 1842–43, i. 490. The quantity could scarcely have been two ounces, 1, because a penny-worth, which was what the person bought, amounts only to two drachms, and 2, because it could not have been dissolved, as the patient said was done, in four ounces of water. The word ounces is probably a misprint for drachms.
