Excerpt from Laboratory Studies on the Toxicity of Tartar Emetic to the Mexican Fruitfly

Four experiments on the toxicity of concentrations of tartar emetic ranging from to 8 pounds in 100 gallons of solution containing 20 pounds of granulated sugar showed that decrease in the length of life of flies was not very great as the concentration was gradually increased from 2 to 6 or 8 pounds of tartar emetic. Flies succumbed less rapidly upon exposure to a concentration of 1 pound, and toxicity fell off markedly when flies were exposed to concentrations of less than 1 pound.
