Abstract
Canine hysteria, sometimes called running fits or fright disease, a nervous condition which has troubled dog-owners both in Britain and in the U.S.A. for the past 20 yrs. or so, has been produced in growing dogs by including in their diet flour that has been improved and bleached by NC13, the agene process. The same flour, when untreated, did not produce the nervous malady. Affected dogs returned towards normal and the typical hysteria and fits stopped when the agenized flour was removed from the diet and replaced by unimproved flour of the same grist.Keywords
