Excerpt from Toxines and Antitoxines The author's object in writing this work was to bring together all that was known on the subject of toxines, the definition of a toxine being based on chemical grounds and on the side-chain theory, quite independently of the origin of the poison. Hence it follows that although this book may be regarded as complete in one respect - via, that it does, in fact, give a comprehensive idea of toxines as a Whole - yet, at the same time, it was not part of my plan to deal With all the toxic substances of a doubtful nature that are formed in animals and plants. For this reason many animal and vegetable poi'sons, the toxine character of which is open to question fish venoms), have only been described very cursorily, while no mention has been made of others bee-poison, which is probably of a basic nature). In my attempt to give an exact outline of the toxines themselves and their antitoxines, I have had practically no previous work of importance at my disposal. Therefore, so far as it was possible, I have obtained my facts solely from the original papers. Yet I cannot but fear that my book remains a torso, since much that has been written on toxines is scattered through different journals, many of Which seem unlikely to deal with such a subject, and it is therefore probable that many facts may have escaped my notice.
