Tremors frequently occurred, and fibril- lary twitches continued in a well-marked form until death. Effect on Secretion and Excretion. JFith jjJiysostigma, none. After atropia, in 30 min., slight salivation occnrred, and continued until death. In 40 min., one fajcal pellet was passed. No urine was voided. Effect on the Respirations.

After atropia, the rate per 10 sec, was in 13 min,, 18, Soon sifter it began to slow, and also the movements be- gan to get feeble, until in 50 min,, only rare gasps occurred. Effect on the Heart.
