Dr. Thomas F. Wood, the distinguished physician of Wilmington, North Carolina, tried to kill a young sheep by feeding it Kalmia angustifolia, but failed. It would not eat it, though hunger was an aid to the effort. Then a decoction of the leaves and fruit was forced down its throat, but it vomited, and more and stronger was given to it. After several days of desperate illness, persistent vomiting, etc, it finally recovered. The doctor believes, from his observations on the case, that, though the shrub is a gastric irritant, and has some intoxicating properties, it would be difficult for a sheep to eat enough of it to cause death. On the whole, a morbid appetite might induce a sheep to eat a great deal of it, and thus cause death, which, however, he thinks, must be rare. The paper is in the February number of the American Agriculturist.
