A New Test for Blood.-According to Schilling traces of blood in a fluid can be recognized by the addition of a few drops of a 20 per cent solution of hydrogen peroxide. The blood promptly decomposes the re-agent, and shows its presence by means of the production of numerous small bubbles of oxygen, while the solution is decolorized. The test is said to be positive if blood is present in the proportion of 1 to 1600. While there are more delicate tests for blood, this one certainly has the merit of simplicity and convenience.
