"Poisons, Their Effects and Detection" by Alexander Wynter Blyth is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive manual for analytical chemists and forensic experts, detailing the nature, effects, and detection methods of various toxic substances. It explores the historical context of poison knowledge, its physiological effects, and diagnostics, proving essential for anyone involved in toxicology or forensic medicine. The beginning of this manual outlines the origins of poison knowledge, highlighting the significance of the word "toxicology" and its connection to ancient practices involving poisons used on weaponry. It references mythological figures associated with poison, such as Hecate and Medea, and sets a tone of intrigue surrounding early toxicological research. Blyth emphasizes how ancient civilizations perceived poisons and the supernatural beliefs attached to them, paving the way through history to modern understandings of toxins and their effects on health and life.
