Extract from per 100 litres 



Cartilage fluoresced a little less than one 128tli of a grain of 



quinine to a litre =0*8 



Nerves fluoresced a little less than one 128th of a grain of 



quinine to a litre =0*8 



Liver fluoresced a little less than one 64th of a grain of qui- 

 nine to a htre =1-6 



Kidney fluoresced a httle less than one 64th of a grain of 



quinine to a litre =1*6 



Lungs fluoresced one 128th of a grain of quinine to a litre. . =0'8 

 Muscle fluoresced between one 128th and one 64th of a grain 



of quinine to a litre =0*8 to 1'6 



Spleen fluoresced a little less than one i28th of a grain of 



quinine to a litre =0*8 



Heart fluoresced one 128th of a grain of quinine to a litre . . =0*8 



When a much larger quantity of each organ was taken (whether from 

 loss or destruction of substance in the process of preparation), no great 

 increase of fluorescence was obtained. 



Thus, of the different parts of a man who died of apoplexy, six grains 

 were taken and treated as in the previous cases.

In a precisely similar way the difi'erent parts of the tissues of a woman 



who had taken small doses of quinine up to twenty-four hours of her death, 

 were examined. 



The tissues were dried in a water-bath, and 0-6 grain of the dry sub- 

 stance was taken for examination.
