nonpoisonous; " "Similarly a hen which had eaten for three weeks oats covered 

 with fuchsin was in good Health." (p. 24.)

personally 500 milligrams, that is, 7.7 grains in 16 days; there was no digestive 

 disturbance of any kind, and the urine, which was examined daily, contained 

 no albumen. They cite a case of Blight's disease, in which the amount of 

 albumen decreased when fuchsin was administered, and they conclude that 

 fuchsin may be good for sufferers from Blight's disease.
