Aleaf of each of these plants was copied by photography, and produced as evidence in court. As the determination of the presence of fragments of leaves in poi-soned liquids, or in the contents of a stomach, may be of importance asevidence, we subjoin an illustration of hemlock leaves, engraved froma photograph of the living plant (Fig. 78). The appearance and smellof the leaves, either when bruised or when rubbed with a solution ofpotash, will greatly aid a medical witness in forming a judgment, asthere are many umbelliferse which bear a close resemblance to hemlockin the form of their leaves. Among these, however, it is impossible Fig. 79..

It is probable that some unexplained cases of illness or death fromirritation of the stomach and bowels, simulating chronic irritant poison-1ing, may have been the result of eating trichinous food.
