Abstract
Summary
1. A large intraperitoneal dose of di-β-chlorethyl sulfide was given one member of a cross-circulating pair of dogs. Death was produced in both animals, though it was much delayed in the second member. 2. Cross-circulation between 2 dogs was begun 30-60 minutes after poisoning one with a. large intraperitoneal dose of mustard. In no case was death produced in the second, unpoisoned dog. 3. It is concluded that a “secondary toxin” is not responsible for death, in acute mustard poisoning.
