The Bulletin 
Two feedings of juice of 250 c.c. each were given daily to lamb 240. 
This test was begun on the evening of August 6 and was discontinued 
on the evening of August 13. On August 10 only half the quantity was 
given so that the lamb had consumed 3,000 c.c. by August 13. The an¬ 
imal trembled on the morning of August 14 and the tremors had become 
so intense by evening that it could not stand. Death occurred during 
the night of August 14. 
Between the evening of August 16 and the evening of August 22, 
ewe 16 was given a total of 7,250 c.c. of expressed juice. She was sick 
on the evening of August 22, as noted by the characteristic standing 
posture. On the following morning, she stood with head lowered and 
with mouth held open and panted for breath. She seemed to be suffer¬ 
ing severe abdominal pain as evidenced by efforts to vomit and constant 
movement of the hind limbs. Death resulted at about 4 P. M. on 
August 22. 
Experiment 10 .—This experiment with lambs 233 and 222 corre¬ 
sponds to Experiment 21 with guinea pigs. Expressed juice was kept 
on a water bath maintained at a temperature of about 60 degrees C. 
The decrease in volume due to evaporation was restored by the addition 
of water. Lamb 333 was given 500 c.c. daily in two feedings beginning 
on the evening of August 6. JNTone was given on August 11. She was 
first noticed to tremble on August 17 and feeding was discontinued. 
This animal was given a total of 5,000 c.c. Death took place August 
18. The feeding of lamb 222 was begun at the same time, she being 
given 750 c.c. daily except on August 11, when none was given. Trem¬ 
bling was first noted on the morning of August 25 and she died during 
the night of August 29. hTo juice was given after August 24, and she 
received a total of 9,250 c.c. 
Experhnent 11 .—The residue from which the volatile oil had been 
distilled was given to ewe 31 beginning August 20. By the evening of 
August 22, 3,800 c.c. had been given. JSTone was given on the two suc¬ 
ceeding days, and at noon on the 25th trembling was noted. Death oc¬ 
curred during the night of August 27. 
b. With Hogs 
Experiment 12 .—The purpose of this experiment was to determine 
whether hogs are subject to ill effects following the feeding of white 
snakeroot. Accordingly, two animals were given this weed along with 
a ration of grain and shorts beginning June 21. They consistently 
refused to eat any considerable quantity of the weed even though it 
was mixed with moistened grain and shorts. One animal, however.
