ANTIMONY TARTRATE.
The intravenous dose for trypanosomes in the camel is
25 c.c. of a 2% solution (8).
Given by the mouth, symptoms of poisoning are caused
by doses which do not affect trypanosomes.
METHYLENE BLUE AND MERCURY BICHLORIDE.
These drugs were tried on two spare camels and had no
apparent effect whatever on trypanosomes.
Eleven consecutive daily doses were given intravenously;
the minimum doses used were 50 c c. of a 1—500 solution of
Hg. Cl2 and 30 c.c. of one per cent. solution of Methylene
blue; the maximum doses used were 100 c.c. of the Hg. Cl2
solution and 50 c.c. of the Methylene blue solution.
