172 - PROFESSOR RUTHERFORD ON THE 
Necropsy.—There was very slight evidence of purgative action, but the 
mucous membrane of the upper fourth of the small intestine was much more 
vascular than usual. 
Experiment 28. Dog that had fasted twenty-four hours. Weight 23:3 kilo- 
grammes (fig. 28).—The unusually long fast resulted from the animal having 
refused to take food on the afternoon of the day preceding the experiment. It 
was probably owing to this circumstance that the secretion of bile was so low

NeEcropsy.—Stomach contracted, mucous membrane normal, The euonymin 
had extended along about a third of the small intestine. The mucous mem- 
brane of the upper third was extremely vascular. Mucous flakes were scattered 
over the surface. But notwithstanding the increased vascularity, the intestine 
at this part contained only a small quantity of a watery fluid. The remainder 
of the intestine was dry and contracted, without any signs of irritation.
