The following bibliography contains references to the recorded 

 - uf poisoning by acetanilid and preparations containing it, from 

 the date of it- introduction as a medicine in 1886 to the end of the 

 year I'."i7, together with a brief abstract of each case. It was found 

 to he difficult in some cases to draw the line between cases of actual 

 poisoning and cases in which the symptoms were hardly severe 

 enough to justify the use of the word "toxic" in describing them. 

 Thr word " poisoning " as used in the subsequent pages is intended to 

 include all cases in which unexpected, undesired, and deleterious ef- 

 fects resulted from the ingestion of acetanilid. Thus the recorded 

 cases in which cyanosis was the only untoward symptom observed 

 wnv included in this report, inasmuch as the cyanosis was an unex- 

 pected and un. laired effect of the ingestion of the drug in each case 

 and a manifestation of its harmful qualities.
