8. Magnesium sulphate stimulates the intestinal glands, but not the 
9. Castor oil stimulates the intestinal glands, but not the liver. 
10. Gamboge stimulates the intestinal glands, but not the liver. 
11. Ammonium chloride stimulates the intestinal glands, but not the 
12. Scammony is a powerful intestinal but feeble hepatic stimulant. 
13. Euonymin is a powerful hepatic but a feeble intestinal stimulant. 
14. Iridin is a powerful hepatic stimulant. It also stimulates the intestine, 
but not so powerfully as podophyllin. 
15. Leptandria is a hepatic stimulant of moderate power. It is a feeble — 
intestinal stimulant. 
16. Sanguinarin is a powerful hepatic but a feeble intestinal stimulant. 
17. Ipecacuan is a powerful hepatic stimulant. It increases slightly the 
secretion of intestinal mucus; but has no other apparent stimulant effect on the 
intestine. The bile secreted under the influence of ipecacuan has the normal 
composition. 
18 Colocynth is, in large doses, a powerful hepatic as well as intestinal 
stimulant. It renders the bile more watery, but increases the secretion of 
biliary matter. 
19. Jalap is a moderately powerful hepatic, and a powerful intestinal 
stimulant. 
20. Taraxacum is a very feeble stimulant of the liver. 
21. Dilute nitrohydrochloric acid is a hepatic stimulant of considerable 
power. 
23. Sodium chloride is a very feeble hepatic stimulant. 
23. Rochelle salt is a feeble hepatic, but a powerful intestinal stimulant, 
24, Sodium phosphate is a powerful stimulant of the liver and a moderately 
powerful stimulant of the intestine. 
25. Sodium sulphate is a moderately powerful stimulant of the liver and a 
powerful stimulant of the intestine. 
26. Potassium sulphate is a hepatic and intestinal stimulant of considerable 
power. Its action on the liver is, however, uncertain, probably owing to its 
sparing solubility. 
27. Sodium bicarbonate has scarcely any appreciable effect as a stimulant 
of the liver, even when given in very large doses. 
28. Potassium bicarbonate does not excite the liver unless it be given in 
very large doses. 
29. Potassium iodide has no notable effect on the biliary secretion. 
30. Calabar bean stimulates the liver, but not powerfully, unless it be given 
in very large doses. |
