1. In dogs, atabrine medication with 33 or 66 per cent of the acute m.l.d. daily for 14 and 4 consecutive days respectively resulted in impairment of hepatic function as measured by the bromsulphalein and bilirubin tests.
2. In contrast daily medication with 17 per cent of the m.l.d. for 6 weeks revealed no significant reduction in liver function in 3 of the 4 dogs studied.
3. Chronic dosages of atabrine ranging from 17 to 66 per cent of the m.l.d. administered daily for a period of 42 days gave no evidence of renal damage in 11 of 12 dogs studied.
