Dr. DWEW snid tho oil cirkc left in tho prepnrntion of Chinese wood oil, which wns mndo in lnrge quantities in Jnpnn, one of the most reninrknblo drying oils, hnd the reputntion in Jnpnn of being poisonous, nnd wns therefore used only ns mnnuro nnd not 11s cnttle food. Some yenrs ngo, n Jnpnnesc phiirmncologist took up the subject with n view of finding whnt wns tlie poison in it, but gnvc it up on finding thnt tlic cnke wns not poisonous to nnimnls. Probnbly, in tlio dnys when this reputntion. wns ncquired, tlie poisonous qunlity was duo t o prussic mid, and in recent tiiiies tlic Jnpnncso hnving used higher temperatures the cnke had becoiiic no longer poisonous. At m y mte, he thought it would bo wcu if tho nuthors would investigntc these seeds nnd sec if they contained these cynnogenctic substnnccs.
