effect, in the case of injection per rectum, will be longer than by 
hypodermic injection, or else the amount of poison must be corre- 
spondingly increased; either of which introduces an objectionable 
element into the experiment. 
(a.) Rabbit weighing 1485 grams had injected under its skin 0°80 
gram of tartar emetic dissolved in a little water. Injection made at 
11:35 a.m. At-3:45 p.m., 4 hours and 10 minutes after the first 
injection, 0°08 gram more was injected in the same manner. At 4:05 
p. m. the animal died. 
(6.) Rabbit weighing 1512 grams had injected per rectum 0°08 
gram of tartar emetic dissolved in a little water. Injection made at 
11:45 a.m. At 3:50 p.m. the animal apparently not being affected 
at all, whereas rabbit (a) was strongly under the influence of the 
poison, 07160 gram more of the salt was injected per rectum as 
before. At 5:30 p. m. the animal was still alive, but evidently feel- 
ing the effect of the poison. The animal died during the night.
