This Text-book of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology by R. J. M. Buchanan, professor at the University of Liverpool, is the eighth edition, published in 1915, of a manual long known as Husband's Forensic Medicine, now issued separately from its companion volume on public health. It begins with legal procedure in England, Ireland and Scotland and the duties and fees of medical witnesses, then covers medical evidence and identification, modes of dying and the signs of death, post-mortem examinations and exhumations, wounds, and other questions doctors faced in court. The second part is a guide to poisons, their symptoms, detection and treatment, ending with dangerous gases. It is a working textbook of its period. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
