332 INDEX. 



Acid. 



iron present in venous blood, and is given off when oxygen 

 is absorbed, 269. Is absorbed by the serum of blood in all 

 states, 270. 



— Cerehric. Its composition, 184. Its properties, 186. 



— Choleic. Represents the organic portion of the bile, 133. Its 

 formula, 134. Its transformations, 125. Half its formula, 

 added to that of urate of ammonia, is equal to the formula 

 of blood -j- a little oxygen and water, 136. Produced in 

 the oxidation of blood, 140. Views which may be taken of 

 its composition, 148. May be formed by the action of 

 oxygen and water on proteine and starch, 152. Products of 

 its oxidation, 154. Various ways in which it may be sup- 

 posed to be formed in the body, 160. Its composition, 315. 

 Cannot be said to exist ready formed in the bile, 317. 



— Cholic. Its composition, 318. Derived from choleic acid, 134, 

 135. Possible relation to choleic acid, 148. 



— Choloidic. Its composition, 315. Derived from choleic acid, 

 135. Possible relation to choleic acid, 148. Possible re- 

 lation to starch, 157. Possible relation to proteine, 141. 



— Cyanic. Its formula, 281. 



— Cyanuric. Its formula, 281. 



— Hippuric. Its composition, 319. Appears in the urine of 

 stall-fed animals, 82. Is destroyed by exercise, 82, 139. Is 

 probably formed in the oxidation of blood, 140. Is found 

 in the human urine after benzoic acid has been administered, 

 150, 325. May be derived from proteine when acted on by 

 oxygen and uric acid, 151. With starch and oxygen, it 

 may produce choleic and carbonic acids, 152. May be de- 

 rived from the oxidation of choleic acid, 154. 



— Hydrocyanic or Prussic. Its poisonous action explained, 274. 



— Lithofellic. Its composition, 322. Probably derived from the 

 oxidation of choleic acid : is the chief constituent of bezoar 

 stones, 154. 



— Lactic. Its composition, 309. Its origin, 111. Does not 

 exist in the healthy gastric juice, 112. 



— Margaric. Exists in bile, 317. 



— Muriatic. Exists in the free state in the gastric juice, 109, 

 112. Is derived from common salt, 112, 161. 



— Oxaluric. Analysis of, 321.
