Thegreat value of this substancein this connection is, thatwhile not obviously affecting biliary secretion, as chloroform does, it paralysesvoluntary movement, and thus prevents the irregular outflow of the bile thatensues when the abdominal muscles contract. The analysis of the bile in such a case as the above having been omitted,another experiment was performed for the purpose of supplying the 3. Dog that had fasted nineteen hours. Weight 15 kilogrammes. -Nothing was given but curara in doses similar to those above-mentioned (fig. 3). The biliary flow was not soregular in this as in the previouscases. The mean has beentaken, and triangles with dottedlines are superadded in fig. 3for the purpose of indicating.
