About this ebook

About 1910, notice began to be taken of a disease among waterfowl in the western U.S.; in subsequent years great numbers of waterfowl were lost to "western duck sickness". It was suggested that the disease might be a form of "alkaline poisoning," but eventually the cause was recognized a toxin of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum type C. This sketch includes a number of references.
