Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1919, Vol. 12 The rabbit taken for the globulin work was a male (vii) weighing kg. He was injected each time with cc. fluid extract ergot per kilogram weight. He appeared to suffer very little inconvenience from this dosage other than a temporary languor. His rise in temperature was accompanied by marked rapidity in breathing; temperature rise to 5 respiration reached as high as 300 per minute. He acquired no tolerance for the drug, appearing rather limp at the end Of the injection, so no attempt was made to further increase the dose. This rabbit had been employed previously for globulin and total protein work and his normals were well established. The conditions and feeding were kept as uniform as. Possible, as they were with all rabbits made use of in these experiments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
