extracted with 10 cc. of sterile water, boiled for a 

 few minutes and filtered. 5 cc. of this extract were 

 injected into the ear vein of each of two rabbits weigh- 

 ing 1500 grams. Both developed immediate shock 

 with diminished reflexes, nystagmus, respiratory and 

 circulatory failure. One animal died after 2 hours 

 in profound shock and the other after a lapse of six 

 hours. 



The experiments presented above are typical of 

 literally hundreds of similar ones recorded in our 

 laboratory notebooks.
