Bucks McGee, after being poisoned, is currently being treated in the hospilal antidote- the chemical Fe-(CN)18. The compound is so intensely coloured that even a small amount of it makes for a black or dark blue suspension. Given that this antidote has never before been administered at the hospital, none of the doctors or nurses have experience with it. There is one very old bottle of Fe7(CN)18 pills in the medicine store-room, but the label is worn and the units are in the old, archaic British Apothecaries' system which has unusual units like drachms, scruples, grains, and mites: 453.6 grams (g) = 1 pound (Ib) = 12 ounces (3) = 96 drachms (3) = 288 scruples (Ə) = 5760 grains (gr) = 115200 mites (m)
