Severe shock or grief, worry, nervous exhaustion, disease, and poisons in the blood of the mother are the most serious sources of injury; they render nutrition defective and if poison enters directly the blood of the mother or is generated by toxins through disease, the embryo will be poisoned and may be destroyed.

Among these poisons are alcohol, lead, and the toxins from tuberculosis and the venereal diseases, gonorrhea and syphilis.

"There are some toxins, you know," he added, "that are even beyond him and his microscopes.

When the toxin of panic is in the air there is no antidote like vigorous action.

Again last night, after the dinner, the Glow-worm drew me into her boudoir and poured into my ears months of accumulated toxins of hate and fear" "I'm sorry they have frightened you," Bedient said.

The crustaceans live within their shells or take advantage of ready-made refuges of limestone, expelling their former owners; the animal-plants exhale toxins; the planctonic beings, transparent and gelatinous, burn like a crystal exposed to fire; some organisms apparently weak and flabby, have in their tails the force of a carpenter's bit, perforating the rock sufficiently to create a cavern of refuge in its hard interior....

The most striking part of the argument contained in the brief was the testimony of physicians on the toxin of fatigue.

It has been shown that when artificially injected into animals in large amounts the fatigue toxin causes death.

The fatigue toxin in normal quantities is said to be counteracted by an antidote or antitoxin, also generated in the body.

But as soon as fatigue becomes abnormal the antitoxin is not produced fast enough to counteract the poison of the toxin.
