 Observations controverted by Davaine — Pyaemia and Sep- 

 ticaemia — Salisbury on Bacteria as the Cause of certain 

 Fevers — Johanna Liiders' and Hallier's Observations on

CHAPTER V. 



Fermentation . 87-1 14 



Fermentation, a Key to the Whole Position — Chemical Fer- 

 mentations — Illustrations — Organic Fermentations — Al- 

 coholic Fermentation — Result of Activity of Living Proto- 

 plasm — Lactic and Butyric Fermentations — Cagniard Latour 

 — Schwann— Reess — Hansen — Liebig's Theory of Fermenta-

CHAPTER VI. 



Fermentation (continued) 115-144 



Soluble Constituents of Yeast — Action of these upon Sugar — 

 Conversion of Glycogen in the Liver and other Tissues — 

 Growth 6f Yeast-Cells in Organic and Inorganic Fluids — 

 Fermentation of Fruit Juice — ^robic and Anaerobic Fer- 

 mentations — Effect of Free Oxygen on Yeast-Cells — Fer- 

 mentation not necessarily equal to Growth of Yeast — 

 Enzyme or Unorganized Ferment a Secondary Function — • 

 Function depends partly on Organism, partly on Medium in 

 which it is Growing — Peptonizing Function usually requires 

 presence of Oxygen — Various kinds of Fermentation : Lactic, 

 Urea, Butyric, Ammoniacal, Acetic — Formation of Fatty 

 Acids — Mycoderma Aceti — General Processes of Fermenta- 

 tion — Hoppe-Seyler's Classification.
