Cases of chronic poisoning by ergot in rye bread, which began in our area in the fall of 1926, continued in significant numbers in the spring of 1927. Usually this poisoning was expressed by cramps in the muscles of the arms and face, which persistently lasted for weeks and months, now weakening, now increasing, despite the termination, if we believe the patients, the abuse of rye bread.
