Development of a “true cholera”.
Sometimes a kind of cholera sets in, which saves the patient; but, in general, when cured, their convalescence is protracted.
One of the most remarkable characteristics about this drug is, that its poisonous effects do not develop until ten to twelve hours after eating it. (Colchicum resembles it in this respect).
The fungus is exceedingly fatal; twenty-three out of thirty-eight cases died (Boudier).
Other collected cases show thirteen out of twenty-nine (Husemann).
The effects of this drug resemble most clearly a most violent attack of cholera.
