MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE AND TOXICOLOGY.

Professor Mallet.

In this course the general relations of medicine to law are discussed,
and the duties and rights of the medical expert as a witness, with a study
of the poisons most commonly needing attention in their chemical and
physiological aspects. The other special branches of legal medicine and
surgery are taken charge of by the other professors of the Medical Department,
to whose chairs the several subjects are naturally most cognate.
