    The technical and scientific treatises on forensic medicine constitute a special literary genre. Let's take an example from the passage on methods of asphyxiation, where, among other things, the following questions are answered: Can rapid fainting protect against the deleterious effects of anthrax? What is the influence of asphyxia on digestion? There is also a captivating passage on homicide by poisoning, which leads to hesitation between mineral irritant poisons, which must be divided into 10 classes, not forgetting "mechanical irritants such as glass, pins, and needles," plant irritant poisons, narcotic poisons, narcotic-acrous poisons, and finally, septic poisons. Let's admit, in particular, that we wouldn't want to be murdered by "sewer poisoning." Naturally, there are numerous figures and diagrams (such as that of Dr. Lachèse's experiments on the effects of firing a heavily powdered rifle on the human body, depending on the distance). Let's stop this description here.
