pound of proteine, and cannot form blood, 127 et seq. May 

 serve as food for the gelatinous tissues, and thus spare the 

 stomach of convalescents, 98, 130. In starvation the gelati- 

 nous tissues remain intact, 97. Its relation to proteine, 126. 

 Its formula, 142. Its analysis, 311, 322. 



GOEBEL. His analysis of gum, 298. 



GLOBULES of the blood are the carriers of oxygen to all parts of 

 the body, 171 175. They contain iron, 265 et seq.

 starch sugar and diabetic sugar, 72. Its composition, 73. Its 

 analysis, 297. 



GROWTH, or increase of mass, greater in graminivora than in 

 carnivora, 80. Depends on the blood, 40 ; and on compounds 

 of proteine, 106. See NUTRITION.

HEPATIC DISEASES. Cause of, 23. 



HERBIVORA. Their blood derived from compounds of proteine 

 in their food, 48. But they require also for their support 

 non-azotised substances, 70. These last assist in the forma- 

 tion of their bile, 147 et seq. They retain the phosphoric 

 acid of their food to form bone and nervous matter, 80.
