The small intestine contained 90 cc. clear brownish fluid,with numerous mucous flakes. There was, therefore, evidence of considerablepurgative action. Results of Experiments with Potassium Sulphate.—Experiment 49b showsthat potassium sulphate is undoubtedly a hepatic stimulant. The dose of 232grains, given in this case to a full-sized dog, was just the maximum dose for aman. The negative effect of 124 grains in Experiment 49, and the slight effectof 142 gra
