    • 1910, Alexander McPhedran, Monthly Cyclopædia and Medical Bulletin, page 330:
      In some the intoxication is so sever as to so depress the hæmopoietic tissues as to paralyze their powers of producing leucocytes, and a fatal termination is the invariable result, while in others, although an excess of leucocytes is discharged into the blood, the patient is so depressed by the toxæmia that his powers soon fail and death is almost inevitable.
