Sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate were equally effective as sources of arsenic for preventing the toxic action of the selenium present in seleniferous wheat in the diet of albino rats; the arsenic sulfides (AsS2 and AsS3) were ineffective.

Arsenic as sodium arsenite was equally effective against selenium when the latter was given as seleniferous wheat, sodium selenite and selenium-cystine.

Arsenic was effective in treating rats which had been fed selenium for 20 days but was of little value after selenium had been fed for 30 days.
