This camel probably died from the effects of the toxin
injected.

Cultures could not be obtained from the tissues or
blood, so the bacilli probably did not multiply in the body.

Camel No. 7 was inoculated subcutaneously with 1 c.c.

H. S. bouillon culture 24 hours old.

There was no local reaction, but the temperature rose
to 104°F.

The control rabbit died in 18 hours.

21 days later he was again inoculated subcutaneously
with 1 c.c. H. S. bouillon culture four days old. The control
rabbit died in 20 hours. There was no general or local
reaction, yet 31 days later the camel died and the bacillus
was obtained in culture from the internal organs.

The bacillus was much attenuated in virulence.
