The methods of ob-taining it consist in treating the powdered in-sects with a solvent, such as alcohol, ether,or chloroform, the last being preferable. Thesolution is evaporated, and the residue is puri-fied from a green oil which adheres to it obsti-nately, by digesting with bisulphide of carbon orby redissolving in alcohol. Purification is fur-ther affected by animal charcoal, and the can-tharidin is crystallized from hot alcohol or chlo-roform.
