Chapter five titled “Mercury” of The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum gives a fascinating story, about a woman named Gertie Gorman who was married to a man named Charles Webb. Many believed that her husband poisoned her because in her will “[she would leave] everything to her husband” (112) giving him a good motive for that action, but as the investigators opened up the body they found the presence of mercury bichloride, which was a “messy killer” (114) meaning it was hard to miss because of all the bloody inflammations. As the investigators looked more into the case they found out that Webb was not the person responsible for his wife’s death, however Webb was still prosecuted. Mercury can be poisonous if taken in extreme quantities causing the same things it did to Gertie’s body.
Toxicology Article Cases Cousins Herman and Paul Petrillo were career criminals from Philadelphia who decided to form a matrimonial agency during the 1930s. The purpose of their agency would be to help widowed women remarry and get life insurance policies for their new husbands. However, since the agency functioned as a conduit for collecting money from these policies, the Petrillo cousins and their gang had a vested interest in making sure their clients’ husbands came to tragic ends, often with the wives as willing accomplices. Paul considered himself to be a practitioner of witchcraft and intended to use black magic to cause the husbands’ deaths. When that didn’t work, they decided to use arsenic instead.
In the book Blum tracks the days when a pair of forensic scientists began their chemical detective work, fighting to end an era when untraceable poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime.

Previous Cases: For drug processing, we will examine a case that focuses on the supply of controlled drugs. With the help of Forensic Science Service (FSS), it has been engaged in the development of the framework that provides a consistent, robust, and a balanced approach to forensic science casework (G. Booth, 2002). FSS is seen in this case. The case will compare the wraps of two suspected people. The findings are based on the maximum value, clarity, and balance of the product.
Patients were seen and evaluated in the medical wards, initially in the admission days and later, the progress and treatment was monitored. A detailed history taking, general systematic examination was done in all patients. In all patients an attempt was made to identify the nature of the poison by noting the history given by the patient or the bystander whenever possible or by identifying the poison by noting the bottle label left by the patient or by chemical analysis of the gastric aspirate whenever needed. In most of the cases the history given by the patient was considered as most significant. Details regarding history, physical findings on arrival, comrbid conditions, investigation of results, complications and outcome were recorded in the proforma.
