(C) due to diet mixed with foreign bodies, which caused by accidental poisoning, that among the adulterated poison. Formerly known as Chinese food poisoning poison in the body, now proved to be inaccurate, cover animal corpus luteum (Ptomaine) produced by the animal protein and Leukomaines and other quality, the body of significant lack of significant toxicity.
