 pum, of the old world, affords leaves that are a good 

 substitute for senna. G. puticosa and G. vulgaris

 globe; a blood-corpuscle or lymph-corpuscle. En bi- 

 ology, any minute spheric -tincture. In pharmacy,

Globulin (glob'-u-lin) [globulus, a little ball], i. A 

 general name for various proteids comprising globulin, 

 vitellin, paragiobulin, or serum-globulin, fibrinogen, 

 myosin, and globin, which differ from the albumins in 

 not being soluble in water ; one species, existing in the 

 crystalline lens, is specially designated as globulin. 

 They are insoluble in distilled water, but soluble in 

 dilute neutral saline solutions. These solutions are 

 coagulated by heat, and precipitated by a large amount 

 of water. They yield acid-albumin when acted upon 

 by dilute acids, and alkali-albumin when acted upon 

 by dilute alkalies. Vegetable Globulins have been 

 studied, and named vegetable myosin, vitellin, and 

 paragiobulin : they are found in the seeds of plants.
