It may be so; but let us not, in our desire for simple explanations or undue haste to get some sort of theory that apparently fits into our own knowledge, assume it gratuitously, in the absence of the clearest proofs, especially when our fidlures on this supposi- tion are so nuiperous. e may say, then, that fat is not merely selected from the blood, but formed in the animal tissues; that fat formation may take place when the food consists largely of carbohydrates, when it is chiefly proteid, or when proteid and In other words, fat results from the metabolism of certain cells, which is facilitated by the consumption of carbohydrate and fatty food, but is possible when the food is chiefly nitrogenous. We must, however, recognize differences both of the species and the individual in this respect, as to the extent to which one kind of food or the other most favors fat formation (excre- tion). The use of the adipose tissue as a packing to pre- vent undue escape of heat is evident; but more important.
