The American Experience: The Poisoner's Handbook
Season 25, Episode 4 (7 Jan. 2014)
TV Episode - 113 min - Documentary | History | Forensics


In the early 20th century, the average American medicine cabinet was a would-be poisoner's treasure chest, with radioactive radium, thallium, and morphine in everyday products. The pace of industrial innovation increased, but the scientific knowledge to detect and prevent crimes committed with these materials lagged behind until 1918. New York City's first scientifically trained medical examiner, Charles Norris, and his chief toxicologist, Alexander Gettler, turned forensic chemistry into a formidable science and set the standards for the rest of the country.


Based on the best-selling non-fiction book by Deborah Blum "The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York"
