Reading edition
Stalker, M. The “Loco” Plant and Its Effect on Animals. Bur. Animal Industry, 3d Ann. Rept. (1886), p. 275. 1887.—Anderson, F. W. Poisonous Plants and the Symptoms They Produce. Bot. Gaz., vol. 14, p. 180. 1889.
Note.—The symptoms described in Janvier’s interesting story, “In Old Mexico” (Scribner’s Magazine, vol. 1, p. 67, 1887), would coincide with those due to some member of the nightshade family (probably Datura stramonium). See also Pilgrim, C. W., Does the Loco Weed Produce Insanity? in Proc. Amer. Medico-Psycholog. Assoc., vol. 5, p. 167. 1898.
