206 REPORT—1868. 
of the idea it may, indeed, be alleged that on July 14th (Table IV.) more 
fluid and solid bile was secreted under the influence of blue pill than had 
been secreted on any day without it; but as a counterpart to this it can 
be said that on July 17th (Table IV.) the amount of fluid and solid bile was 
less than it had ever been on any previous day. On the whole, therefore, 
it may be concluded that in this case there was no evidence that the admi- 
nistration of blue pill affected the biliary secretion.

Notre.—The amount of dry food consumed daily during the above period amounted to 229°5 grammes. 
” ” FN for each kilogramme of dog amounted to 15°27 grammes. 
* In columns 5 and 6 the maximum, minimum, and mean quantities only are calculated. The last, however, 
are estimated from the mean quantities of column 4. 
The above-mentioned doses of blue pill did not purge the animal. 
On July 17th the observations were interrupted on account of renewed 
ulceration over the sternum by the pressure of the apparatus. At that date 
the animal was in excellent health. 
The observations were resumed after an interval of six days. The results 
are given in the following Table :—
