All animals showed piloerection, slight urinary incontinence, muscular weakness and slight forelimb tremor. The effects abated but, after one week, they all remained weak and were unsteady. No pathological lesions were noted but the substance seemed to precipitate on the viscera and mesentery. A moderate ascites was present.
