Excerpt from A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence, Insanity and Toxicology The present manual embraces essentially the course of lectures on Medical Jurisprudence delivered by the author to the students of the Jefferson Medical College during the session of 1891 and 1892. It was prepared, at the request of the students, in the hope that it would assist them as well as others in the study of this most important branch of medicine. The necessarily prescribed limits of the work permit only of the consideration of those parts of this extensive subject which the experience of the author as Coroner's physician of the city of Philadelphia for a period of six years leads him to regard as the most important for practical purposes.
