ANIMAL HEAT. Derived from the combination of oxygen with 

 the carbon and hydrogen of the metamorphosed tissues, which 

 proceed ultimately from the food, 17, 18. Is highest in those 

 animals whose respiration is most active, 19. Is the same 

 in man in all climates, 19, 20. Is kept up by the food 

 in proportion to amount of external cooling, 22. Is not pro- 

 duced either by any direct influence of the nerves, or by mus- 

 cular contractions, 29 34. Its amount in man, 34. Che- 

 mical action the sole source of it, 38. The formation of fat 

 from starch or sugar must produce heat, 91, 94. The ele- 

 ments of the bile, by combining with oxygen, serve chiefly to 

 produce it, 61. 



ANIMAL LIFE. Distinguished from vegetable life by the absorp- 

 tion of oxygen, and the production of carbonic acid, 2. Must 

 not be confounded with consciousness, 6, 7. Conditions ne- 

 cessary to animal life, 9, 12. Depends on an equilibrium be- 

 tween waste and supply, 245, 254, 265. 



ANTISEPTICS. They act by putting a stop to fermentation, putre-
