About this book
Text-book of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology is identified as an eighth edition, revised and enlarged, under R. J. M. Buchanan’s name. The preface explains that subjects previously dealt with in a single volume were being taught by different lecturers and in separate classes in most medical schools. The section on burns and scalds defines injuries caused by temperatures higher than that of the body itself or by corrosive chemical substances acting on internal or external surfaces.
The discussion lists exposure to radiant heat, direct flame, heated solids, friction, lightning, electricity, and X-rays among the ways in which burns are produced. The chemical-analysis table distinguishes mercuric and mercurous salts, recording a bright yellow precipitate with potash solution under the former heading and a green precipitate with potassium iodide under the latter.
