Excerpt from The American Medical Intelligencer, Vol. 2: A Concentrated Record of Medical Science and Literature; From April 1, 1838, to April 1, 1839 On Thursday morning, about nine o'clock, the dog was apparently well, and I believe was so in reality, as he ate freely what was allowed him; which, as before, was limited for further experiment, - yet every day he had a little milk and some water. On this day, Thursday morning, about ten o'clock, I offered him six drams of hydrated peroxide of iron in mush and lard, with a view to witness the effects of the supposed antidote upon him. He ate only about two thirds of it; in the afternoon his bowels were considerably affected. On Friday morning, about ten o'clock, though a little reduced in flesh, he was quite well, and ate voraciously of meat and other food given him, except the mess of the antidote, which he would not again touch, though enveloped in a larger and _richer medium. On this day - late on Friday evening - I returned the dog to his owner, preserved, unequivocally, from the generally fatal effects of the arsenic, not by the factitious antidote, but by the natural counter-poison of his peculiar constitution.
