1. GRAEFE AND BRAUNSCHWEIG (Fortschr. Medizin, 1890, v. 8, p. 405): "It seems

2. SANTORI (Mokschotfs Untersuchungen, 1895, v. 15, p. 52): I. A dog weighing 



7,600 grams received 5.6 grams dye in 12 days; this amounts to 61 milligrams 

 per kilo per day, or 43 grains per 100 pounds per day. Continued vomiting 

 beginning with 0.1 gram dye; progressive emaciation and general falling away; 

 catarrh of eyes and nose; distinct dislike for food and great desire to sleep; 

 temperature below normal, urine unchanged. Loss of weight 1,600 grams, or 

 21 per cent. The animal died on the thirteenth day. The autopsy showed a 

 pale and blood-poor liver; the kidneys were in a typically congested condition 

 and contained accumulations of blood corpuscles. II. A second dog weighing 

 6,000 grams received 3.8 grams dye in 14 days, which amounts to 71.4 milli- 

 grams per kilo per day, or 50 grains per 100 pounds per day. The animal died 

 on the fourteenth day. There was daily vomiting and rapid emaciation; final 

 weight loss was 1,100 grams, or 18.3 per cent; temperature normal; bloody 

 urine beginning the eighth day. The autopsy showed a blood-poor liver, soft 

 and swollen epithelia; kidneys the same as in the case of the preceding dog.
