282 GLANDULAR SYSTEM. 



fl. From peculiarity of texture. From these modifi- 

 cations of vitality and peculiarities of textures, it results 

 that the different glands have certain substances in relation 

 to them. From these, likewise, arise the peculiar sym- 

 pathies of each gland, the particular character of the in- 

 flammation of each gland, and their predispositions to dis- 

 ease. 



Q. Give some examples of the exclusive relation of 

 certain glands with certain substances. 



ft. The conspicuous instance under this head is the 

 fact, that one gland secretes one fluid, another a different 

 one invariably. Again, this relation explains the opera- 

 tion of mercury on the salivary, and of cantharides on the 

 renal glands. 



Q. Will you state some of the peculiar modes of glandu- 

 lar sympathies? 



ft. There is that of the liver with the brain, the testi- 

 cles with the pectoral organs; the disorders of the kidneys 

 in exciting vomiting, the sympathy of the uterus with the 

 mammae. 



Q. Give examples of the different inflammation in dif- 

 ferent glands. 



ft. The inflammation of the kidney differs from that of 

 the liver; that of the prostate gland from the testicles. 

 There is a difference in the symptoms. 



Q. You have said that the glarfds have their particular 

 forms of diseases, specify this position. 



ft. While the liver is subject to hydatids, the salivary 

 glands and testicle never have them. Observe how much 

 more frequent sarcocele is, than a scirrhus of the parotids. 



Q. What characters appertain to the vitality of the 

 glands?
