solid constituents may be increased in amount, both absolutely 

 and even relatively, after administration of alcohol. In this instance 

 alcohol was introduced into the stomach. The excretion of inor- 

 ganic constituents, while showing a well marked increase after the 

 injection of alcohol into the gastrointestinal canal, did not keep 

 pace with the gain in proportion of organic matter. 

 Further study is in progress.
