liahle to cause death in stock from tijpanitis or hoven, in other words, 
from fatal distension of the stomach in animals tchich may eat immodera- 
tely of them. Thus deaths frequently occur ihrough stock eating too 
much dover or lucerne, and succulent plants helonging to many natural 
orders, even grasses, irill produce like fatal results,'' 
„Considering the terrible money loss ivhich is inflicted on pastoralists 
and others through their sheep cattle and horses mysteriously dying 
through eating legiminous plants, it ivould he surely a matter of good 
business for them to arrange for a competent physiologist, with a selected 
band of assistants and co-operators, to take the field, thoroughly inquire 
into the cause of these fatalities, and suggest means of prevention. At 
present, tvhile agreeing tliat certain plants are the cause of death^ we 
cun neither be certain of their precise physiological effects, nor can we 
suggest remedial measures other than empirical ones." (Agric. Gaz. of N. 
S. W. 1897, 4.)
