DICTIONARY OF THE VETERINARY ART. 285 



Yellows. This disease is indicated by a yellowness of 

 the membranes that line the eyelid, and the inner parts of 

 the lips and mouth. In this disease, the natural course of 

 the bile is perverted ; it becomes absorbed into the circula- 

 tion, and thus tinges the membranes and fluids of a yellow 

 color. The excrement is generally of a lighter color than 

 usual. The disease may be produced by a want of tone in 

 the liver, caused by obstructing the surface.
