For a long time it preserves its toxic qualities. It is dissolved in cold water, previously boiled, and the solution with bread and grain are impregnated. One rat contracting the disease is sufficient _to infect whole colonies, which die in a few days. The virus is innocuous to human beings, domestic animals, game and poultry.
