| Filterable Virus | ||
| A special virus that is instantly carcinomatous. |
This poison was used with a tongue dart.
| The poison, too, was original; it did not curtail heart or respiratory action; in fact it was not a poison but a filterable virus which multiplied in the victim's blood stream, causing death within forty-eight hours. It was carcinomatous, in importation from one of Uranus's moons, and still generally unknown; it had cost him a great deal. |
