tions, colourless, flocculent, slightly nauseous, from another 
patient, six hours after seizure, were given to the dog; he ate 
afterwards ; in the night he passed pale-yellowish frothy 
stools, and had vomited his food, and a whitish slimy mucus. 
During this day he ate nothing, was very thirsty, continued 
to be purged, at last of a quite cream-like substance; walked un- 
steadily, crept into a corner, and whined. No cramps, blue- 
ness, or coldness observed. In the night he died. — Post-mor- 
tem : Stomach contained 2 ounces of clear whitish mucus. 
Intestines contracted ; containing the same creamy substance as 
that which had been passed ; no coloured faeces. Stomach 
not very red ; whole intestinal tract reddish ; Peyer’s patches 
very distinct. Blood dark and clotted ; not distinctly tarry. 
Liver dark; gall-bladder with bile; kidneys dark; bladder 
contained 2 drachms of 'muddy urine. The creamy substance 
passed and found in intestines was neutral or slightly alka- 
line ; diluted w 7 ith water, made a smooth emulsion, like rice- 
water motions, but without the flocculi : contained epithelium, 
granular cells (mucous corpuscles ?), amorphous matter, and 
fatty particles, mixed with traces of semi-digested starch-cells 
and muscular fibre. 
Exp. 5. — Dejections, six, eight, and eleven hours after 
seizure of patients; rice-water. 3| ounces in all, given in 
three doses, at intervals of two days. Purging at first green, 
then whitish, and frothy, then creamy ; vomiting on fourth 
day. Death on fifth. — Post-mortem appearances : Stomach 
and intestines contracted; contents cream-like, free from 
bile; bladder empty; blood thick. Creamy substance, like 
that in dog (experiment 4), but contained ova of an entozoon 
in moderate numbers; but of course no fragments of animal 
food. 
Exp. 6. — Dejections, thirteen hours after seizure : saline 
treatment; calomel. 10 drachms to a rabbit. Purging for 
two days ; recovery. 
Exp. 7. — 6 drachms of same to a guinea-pig, with the same 
temporary results. 
Exp. 8. — Dejections six hours and fourteen hours after 
seizure : saline treatment, and calomel. 4 ounces, clear, and 
allowed to settle, to a cat, in two doses, on two successive 
mornings. Vomiting, purging, and death. Faeces loose, 
blackish, then yellow, then creamy or milky. Microscopic 
characters as before ; ova of entozoon numerous. 
Exp. 9.— Dejections, all passed in blue stage. 12 ounces 
in all, having been allowed to settle, given to a goat, at three 
times. The only effect produced was softening of the mo- 
tions ; the animal ate well.
