Ho dissolved in water a tiny red tabloid which he took from a small glass tube in a case he drink it. This I carried, and ordered mo did, finding it exceedingly bitter, and wonder ing what it was.

I asked no questions, however. He was a man who had tunde many extraordinary dis coveries, all of which be kept secret to lumself. In the profession he was acknowledged to be one of the greatest living toxicologists, and his opinions were often sought by the various medical centres.
