Extract

The poison is of an amber colour, has a faint animal odour and an acrid taste. When treated with alcohol or ether it separates into two portions—the one soluble and the other insoluble. From some experiments Dr Russell made he concluded that both were poisonous, but is inclined to believe the soluble to be the more poisonous of the two.
