7 anne Sickness

An investigation of the South AZ
rican disease known as lamziekte, or
lame sickness, suggests that it Is due
to a special plant poison that Is gen.
Grated under abnormal conditions In
grasses or other plants that are nor
mally harmless. Its development seems
to be associated with unusual weather
and soil experiences of which sum-
mer drought is important. Through
such conditions, whiting would favor
the formation of the poison, and this
explains the common belief that the
disease results from eating wilted
plants.
