The small intestine of the rabbit was carefully separated from the mesentery and from the pancreatic gland, and the upper portion cut open and quickly washed free from any conta...
6. Part 6In illustration of some of these points, and especially of the statement that the products of gastric digestion have the power of combining with more hydrochloric acid than the...
11. Part 11Obviously, the main point to be gained in a dialyzer-experiment is the removal of the soluble products of digestion as soon as they are formed; but peptones are not rapidly diff...
2. Part 2This was the commencement of our more modern ideas regarding digestive proteolysis, but only the commencement, for it ushered in an era of unparalleled activity, in which Brücke...
3. Part 3Similarly, pepsin dissolved in 0.2 per cent. hydrochloric acid feels the destructive effect of heat when a temperature of 60° C. is reached. In a neutral solution, on the other...
5. Part 5Further, we are to remember that boiling dilute acid and superheated water tend to produce a cleavage along specific lines; viz., a cleavage into the anti- and hemi-groups of th...
8. Part 8In this connection the question naturally arises how far we are to trust these results in their bearing on the natural process of digestion as it occurs in the living stomach. O...
9. Part 9With proteoses, however, different results are obtained, as Neumeister[156] first pointed out. These bodies introduced into the blood undergo more or less of a change prior to t...
10. Part 10From these data it is evident that, while each individual peptone may have a composition peculiar to itself, they are all alike in possessing a relatively low content of carbon....

1. Part 1In this transcription, paired _underscores_ denote _italicised text_. A single underscore preceding curly brackets indicates that the bracketed character is subscripted (mostly...
7. Part 7I have introduced these dry chemical facts, none of which are especially new, because I deem them of considerable importance and because they are not very generally known. In fa...
13. Part 13Further, by direct injection of peptone into a lymphatic vessel, Shore has shown that even so small an amount as 0.049 gramme is not assimilated or transformed by the lymph in h...
