This animal was obtained for the purpose of determining the efficacy of subjecting a healthy animal to a drug, sufficient
to cause the full physiological effects, previous to submitting it to experimental inoculation with Surra. Further it was
intended to prosecute several interesting problems with regard to the ingestion and excretion of Nitrogen, urine and water
during health, and the course of the disease (Surra) under treatment.
