 ACID. 



Choleic. Represents the organic portion of the bile, 127. Its for- 



mula, 128. Its transformations, ib. Half its formula, added to 

 that of urate of ammonia, is equal to the formula of blood -f- a 

 little oxygen and water, 129. Produced in the oxidation of blood, 

 133. Views which may be taken of its composition, 141. May 

 be formed by the action of oxygen and water on proteine and 

 starch, 144. Products of its oxidation, 146. Various ways in 

 which it may be supposed to be formed in the body, 152. Its 

 composition, 305. Cannot be said to exist ready formed in the 

 bile, 307. 



Cholic. Its composition, 308. Derived from choleic acid, 127, 129. 



Possible relation to choleic acid, 141. 



Choloidic. Its composition, 305. Derived from choleic acid, 128. 



Possible relation to choleic acid, 141. Possible relation to starch, 

 150. Possible relation to proteine, 134. 



Cyanic. Its formula, 268. 



Cyanuric. Its formula, 268. 



Hippuric. Its composition, 309. Appears in the urine of stall-fed 



animals, 80. Is destroyed by exercise, 80, 132. Is probably 

 formed in the oxidation of blood, 133. Is found in the human 

 urine after benzoic acid has been administered, 143, 315. May 

 be derived from proteine when acted on by oxygen and uric 

 acid, 144. With starch and oxygen, it may produce choleic and 

 carbonic acids, ib. May be derived from the oxidation of choleic 

 acid, 146. 



Hydrocyanic or Prussic. Its poisonous action explained, 262. 



Lithqfellic. Its composition, 312. Probably derived from the ox- 



idation of choleic acid; is the chief constituent of bezoar stones, 

 146. 



Lactic. . Its composition, 298. Its origin, 107. Does not exist in 



the healthy gastric juice, ib. 



Margaric. Exists in bile, 307. 



Muriatic. Exists in the free state in the gastric juice, 107, 108. 



Is derived from common salt, 108, 153. 



Oxaluric. Analysis of, 311. 



Parabanic. Analysis of, 31 1. 



Phosphoric. Exists in the urine of the carnivora in considerable 



quantity, 76, 155. Its proportion very small in that of the gra- 

 minivora, 76. Derived from the phosphorus of the tissues, ib. 

 It is retained in the body to form bones and nervous matter, 77.
