评论者带着极大的兴趣和极大的迷恋读了帕里克博士的书的第三版。基本上，这是一本为印度次大陆设计的书，在那里，对于执业的法医病理学家来说，蛇咬伤的工作知识和用于杀死牛的各种植物毒药的类似知识是必不可少的。相反，在西方世界，阿司匹林作为一种毒药的详细知识对于这样的从业者来说是必不可少的，而在印度，阿司匹林中毒“通常是由于特殊或过量服用而偶然发生的，偶尔也会导致自杀”，显然不是。尽管存在这样的差异，但这本书还是包含了丰富的知识，当然，如果是一本有着类似抱负的西方著作，它也会延伸到许多卷。书中许多信息都很引人注目，评论者对其来源感到疑惑，必须请求原谅，尤其是考虑到书中对杀害格奥尔基·马尔科夫（Georgi Markov）的伞枪的详细描述（附有图表）。这是所有与此案有关的人都不知道的情况。撇开善意的批评不谈，这本书值得一读，与我们更习惯的文本有令人耳目一新的不同。
The reviewer read this third edition of Dr. Parikh's book with great interest and not a little fascination. Basically, this is a book designed for the Indian subcontinent where a working knowledge of snake-bite, and a similar knowledge of the various plant poisons used to kill cattle are a necessityfor the practicing Forensic Pathologist. Contrariwise, a detailed knowledge of Aspirin as a poison is an essential to such a practitioner in the Western world, whereas in India, where Aspirin poisoning "is generally accidental from idiosyncracy or overdosage and occasionally suicidal" it obviously is not. In spite of such differences there is a wealth of knowledge packed into this book, and certainly it would extend for many volumes in a Western work of similar aspiration. Much of the information is remarkable and the reviewer must ask forgiveness for wondering about its source, especially in view of the detailed description (with a diagram) of the umbrella gun that was used to kill Georgi Markov. This was information denied to all those involved in the case. Well-meant criticisms apart, this book-iswellworth reading and refreshingly different from the texts we are more accustomed to.
