In normal breathing, the blood's hemoglobin, which includes hemochromogen (compound of hematin), takes oxygen from the lungs and forms unstable oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin readily gives its oxygen to body cells. When carbon monoxide is breathed, very stable carbon monoxide hemoglobin* results and the body cells cannot burn off their wastes, death results. In such poisoning Prof. Fischer's synthetic hematine may possibly be injected into the blood. Animal experiments with...
