Did you hear distinctly the description he gave of the appearance of the stomach, after it was opened?—I did.
To what cause should you, independently of other circumstances, have attributed those appearances?—To no cause but the disease.
(By Mr. Justice Abbott.) What disease?—To the disease of Cholera Morbus.
Do you mean to say that they are indications of nothing else?—No, my Lord.
They are indications of that disease as well as others?—Yes, my Lord.
(By Mr. Sergt. Pell.) Would Cholera Morbus have that appearance?—I think so.
(By Mr. Justice Abbott.) Did you ever see the body of a person opened, who had died of Cholera Morbus?—I have not, my Lord.
(By Mr. Sergt. Pell.) Have you had, in the course of your practice, occasion to make experiments in chemistry?—Yes, Sir.
Did you hear the first experiment, or test, which Dr. Edwards stated he had made, namely, that by the sulphate of copper?—Yes, Sir.
In your judgment, is that test an infallible test of arsenic being present in solution?—By no means.
