ACID. 



Acetic. Composition; and relation to that of aldehyde, 267, 268. 



Benzole. Composition, and relation to that of oil of bitter almonds, 



267, 268. Converted into hippuric acid in the human body, 143, 

 315. 



Carbonic. Is the form in which the inspired oxygen and the car- 



bon of the food are given out, 12. Its formation in the body the 

 chief source of animal heat, 11-21. Occurs, combined with pot- 

 ash and soda, in the serum of the blood, 39. Formed by the action 

 of oxygen on the products of the metamorphosis of the tissues, 59. 

 Its formation may also be connected with the production of fat 

 from starch, 82 - 87. Generated by putrefaction of food in the 

 stomach of animals, 110. Also by the fermentation of bad wine 

 in man, when it causes death by penetrating into the lungs, 111. 

 Escapes through both skin and lungs, ib. Produced, along with 

 urea, by the oxidation of uric acid, 133. Produced, with several 

 other compounds, by the oxidation of blood, ib. May be formed, 

 along with choleic acid, from hippuric acid, starch, and oxygen, 

 145. Also, along with choleic acid, urea, and ammonia, by the 

 action of water and oxygen on starch and proteine, ib. Produced, 

 along with fat and urea, from proteine, by the action of water and 

 oxygen, in the absence of soda, 146. Combines with the com- 

 pound of iron present in venous blood, and is given off when 

 oxygen is absorbed, 257. Is absorbed by the serum of blood in 

 all states, 258. 



Cerelric. Its composition, 174. Its properties, 176.
