In this case death takes place on the next day, and rarely on the third day 
after injection. As is seen, a single injection of atoxyl, even in doses approaching 
the toxic, does not produce recovery. 
Thus, this preparation is not suitable for the treatment of infection with 
the camel trypanosome. 
Experiments with Tartar emetic. The toxicity of the potassium antimony 
tartrate at our disposal is shown in Table 15. The trypanocidal effect of the 
preparation is shown in Table 16.

Thus, an intravenous injection of 1 c.c. of a solution of 1 : 1200 of tartar 
emetic cures mice infected with trypanosomiasis. 
Beginning from 1 : 1500 to 1 : 5000 recurrences occur, and the smaller the 
dose, the sooner the latter are produced. 
A solution of 1 : 8000 does not drive the trypanosomes out of the blood 
even temporarily. 
Since the toxic dose is 0*0011 gramme (in solution 1 : 900) per 20 gr. live
