Einwirkung des Spermins auf den Stoffumsatz bei Autointoxicationen im Allgemeinen und bei harnsaurer Diathese im Speciellen

SUMMARY
Poehl's 1894 monograph arguing that spermin acts on metabolism ('Stoffumsatz') in autointoxication generally and in uric-acid diathesis in particular. It ties the spermine theory to the autointoxication doctrine that frames the case's surrogate mechanism: the claim that spermin counters endogenous metabolic self-poisoning. Printed at Berlin by L. Schumacher, 1894. Catalogue record: Wellcome Collection work k8hzsqdx; authority-controlled author name 'Poehl, Aleksandr Vasilʹevich, 1850-1908.' Title, place, printer, and year copied from the Wellcome catalogue record.
NOTES
This 1894 work is the primary source for the autointoxication strand of Poehl’s spermine theory: spermin presented as a corrective to metabolic self-poisoning, with uric-acid diathesis as the worked example. The autointoxication framework links this case to Metchnikoff’s later sour-milk program and to the broader fin-de-siecle preoccupation with endogenous toxins as a cause of decline. The Wellcome Collection holds the work (k8hzsqdx).
