Bitter Almond. Rosaceae.
According to Wöhler and Liebig, the hydrocyanic acid, formerly supposed to be contained in the almond, is the result of the reaction of water on amygdalin, the characteristic constituent of bitter almonds.
The bitter almond is used for flavoring, and peach kernels and cherry seeds, which have similar properties, are often substituted.
The observations of Jörg, made in 1822, hardly deserving to be called a proving, were published in 1825. Regarding his trustworthiness, see British Quart., XVI, 693. These were added to a collection of symptoms from the Laurocerasus, the Aqua laurocerasi, and Hydrocyanic acid, and printed in Hartlaub's Mat. Med., in 1828. In 1844 they were printed separately in Noak and Trinks' Handbuch, with the addition of some toxic symptoms. Allen's Encyclopaedia contains all, and a carefully made, almost complete collection of poisonings. We only miss Gazin, Traité Pratique, 1853. The experiments of Douglas Maclacan are with a different preparation.
