American Experience | The Poisoner's Handbook (2014)

In the early 20th century, American medicines cabinets included a would-be poisoner’s treasure chest, but the knowledge to detect and prevent crimes committed with these materials lagged behind.

In 1918, New York City's first scientifically trained medical examiner, and his chief toxicologist, turned forensic chemistry into a formidable science and set the standards for the rest of the country.
