The preceding experiment was repeated, by injecting into the jugular
vein of a moderately large dog, an ounce of fluid, derived from the
maceration of putrid beef in water. The animal very soon passed
extremely offensive, liquid evacuations, with much urine. The breathing
became quick and deep, the pulse small and quick. Repeated efforts
were made to empty the bowels. There was great depression and want
of strength. At the expiration of an hour, a kind of diarrhoea or
dysentery made its appearance. Liquid, bloody, and fetid evacuations,
continued for an hour and a half, when the animal died.
_Post-mortem appearances._ Livid, brown, and black patches were found
scattered over the lungs. The intestinal canal was filled with a bloody
mucous secretion, resembling the matter that had been voided; its
mucous membrane was of a livid colour, as in the preceding case.
