showing the advantage of a mixed diet, 73. Calculation on which 

 this statement is founded, 272. Amount of carbon in dry blood cal- 

 culated, 271. Amount in the food of prisoners calculated, 282. 

 Excretion of carbon, 321. 



CARBONIC ACID. See Acid, Carbonic. 



CARBONATES. They occur in the blood, 39. 



CALCULUS, Mulberry. Derived from the imperfect oxidation of uric 

 acid, 131. Uric acid calculus is formed in consequence of de- 

 ficiency of inspired oxygen, or excess of carbon in the food, 131. 

 See Acid, Uric. Bezoar stones composed of lithofellic acid, 146. 



CARNIVORA. Their nutrition the most simple, 43. It is ultimately 

 derived from vegetables, 47, 48. Their young, like graminivora, 

 require non-azotized compounds in their food, 49. Their bile is 

 formed from the metamorphosis of their tissues, 57, 59. The pro- 

 cess of assimilation in adult and young carnivora compared, 65. 

 Their urine, 76. The assimilative process in adult carnivora less 

 energetic than in graminivora, 78. They are destitute of fat, 80. 

 They swallow less air with their food than graminivora, 113. Con- 

 cretions of uric acid are never found in them, 139. Both soda and 

 ammonia found in their urine, 155. 



CA SEINE. One of the azotized nutritious products of vegetable life, 

 46. Abundant in leguminous plants, 46. Identical in organic 

 composition with fibrine and albumen, 47. Animal caseine found 

 in milk and cheese j identical with vegetable caseine, 50. Fur- 

 nishes blood to the young animal, 51. Is one of the plastic ele- 

 ments of nutrition, 92. Yields proteine, 101, 102. Its relation to 

 proteine, 120. It contains sulphur, ib. Potash essential to its pro- 

 duction, 156. Contains more of the earth of bones than blood does, 

 51. Its analysis, 284.

 cholesterine, ib.

 taining it, 302.

 death in them, 26, 27.
