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?

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).
