To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two of the fatal cases were salivated and one was bloated. The animals groan, and in breathing there is frequently a marked interval between inspiration and expiration, the expiration being more or less violent. The temperature rises during the spasms. In Sheep 590 it reached 107.7° F. and in Sheep 595, 10G.4° F. These maximum temperatures were taken just after the death of the animals. In this connection it is interesting to note that temperature observa- tions on A. galioides showed a decline... in temperature before death (Bui. 800, p. 26), while in the A. mexicana and A. pumila cases (Bui. 942, p. — ) the maximum was reached at the time of death. In all whorled-milkweed cases the prognosis of those which pass into the stage of spasms is bad. Only three of the A. mexicana cases showed spasms, and they died. Of the A. galioides cases described in Bulletin 800 only one. Sheep 478, recovered after passing into the stage of spasms. Of the sheep poisoned by A. pumila only two exhibited spasms, and they died.
