Fifty cubic centimeters of alcohol was given subcutaneously about 
the time respiration stopped, but this was evidently too late. The 
pulse could be felt for about three minutes after respiration had 
stopped. 
An autopsy was made on the morning of July 8. The heart was 
found to be in diastole with petechia upon its walls. The mucous 
membranes of the larynx and trachea were inflamed and the lungs 
congested. The walls of the first stomach were congested near the 
esophageal opening. The walls of the second and third stomach were 
strongly congested at the cardiac end. The duodenum was congested, 
the jejunum slightly congested. The ileum was slightly congested 
throughout its length. There was congestion in the upper part of 
the cecum. The walls of the rectum near the anus were extruded and 
inflamed. The kidneys were congested. It was noticeable in this 
animal that while there was mucus in the trachea and bronchi there 
had been no actual vomiting. 
Case 610. 
Case 610 was a yearling heifer weighing about 500 pounds which 
was loaned by the Castle Creek stockmen. She was fed leaves, stems, 
and flowers of Delphinium harbeyi on July 13, being fed at 9, 9.30, 
and 10 a. m., eating altogether 20 pounds. At 11.40 she became 
uneasy and soon went down, and by the time the observer could 
obtain assistance from the laboratory she was found on her left side, 
flat upon the ground. 
She was immediately given a subcutaneous injection of physos- 
tigmin salicylate three-fourths grain, pilocarpin hydrochloric!. 1J 
grains, and strychnin sulphate one-half grain. At 11.45 respira- 
tion was 80 and pulse 64. A picture was taken at 11.49, which shows 
her lying flat upon the ground (PL XII, fig. 1). At this time there 
was some trembling and some salivation and she was kicking about 
as though in pain. At 11.45 the pulse was 76, respiration 60 and 
shallow. At 12.11 the pulse was 75. At 12 o'clock a small amount 
of feces was passed and more at 12.12. There was a further passage 
# at 12.35. From 12 until about 12.30 considerable gas was expelled 
from the stomach. At 12.30 she was able to raise herself upon her 
belly. At 12.35 the pulse was 72. It was noticed that there was 
considerable secretion during this time from the lachrymal glands. 
By 1.40 considerable gas had accumulated in the rumen, and as she 
did not seem to be able to relieve herself by expelling it per os, the 
trocar was thrust into the rumen. This relieved the pressure and 
the breathing became easier. The animal lay at this time with her 
head around to her side in the position shown in Plate XII. figure 2. 
From 12.30 on it was noticed that she perspired quite freely. This 
was probably due to the effect of the remedy pilocarpin. At 2
