This coloring matter in a healthy condition is quite absent 
from the liquor, but in several diseased conditions, notably that 
now under consideration, it leaves the globules and becomes 
diffused in the plasma. It can also be artificially produced by 
simple dilution with water, freezing and melting again, repeated 
electric discharges, separation of the gases of the blood, the 
addition of salts of the bile acids, of either chloroform or of alcohol 
in small quantities.* 
The white corpuscles are in health few in number, about 
aooths to 35 0 ths of the red. They are very much larger than the 
red, and appear to be granular masses of a spherical form, con¬ 
taining within them nuclear bodies and granular matter. The 
analysis of the blood of the horse by Hoppe shows that, 
In 1,000 parts of blood are contained :
