Such is Gmelin's test for bile-pigments, by which they may be detected in' urine or other fluids. The absence of proteids in bile is to be noted. The DigcitiT* Aotion of Bile.—l. So far as known, its action ' on proteids is nil. When bile is added to the products of an artificial gastric digestion, bile-salts, peptone, pepsin, and para- peptone are precipitated and redissolved by excess. 8. It is slightly solyent of fats, though an emulsion made with bile is ?ery feeble. Bht it is likely helpful to pancreatic juice, or more efficient itself when the latter is present With free fatty acids it forms soaps, which themselves help in emulsifying fat 3. Membranes wet with bile allow fats to pass mere readily;* hence it is inferred that bile assists in absorption. 4. When bile is not poured out into the alimentary canal the foces become clay-odlored and ill-smelling, foul gases being secreted in abundance, so that it would seem that bile exercises an anti- septic influence. It may limit
