    CONTENTS. [N. B. The Numerals within ( ) refer to paragraphs.] CHAPTER I. OF THE CHANGES IN FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE TO WHICH THE BILIARY ORGANS ARE SUBJECT. Section I Functional Derangements. MORBW BILIARY SECRETION, ■ Page 4 As occurring dynamically. Pathological conditions on which it may de- pend (3); Morbid states (a) of the constitution of the blood (4)—(6) of the secretory apparatus (5),—(c) of the innervatory influence (6),—(d) of the alimentary canal (7). Different forms which it may assume. Signifi- cation of the term Bilious, as applied to diseases (8). (A) Diminished Biliaey Secbetion, 7 Means of ascertaining its occurrence (9). Suspended Secretion attended with jaundice (11). Pathological conditions producing it (14); constitu- tion of the blood (15); condition of the secretory apparatus (16); inju- ries of the brain and mental emotions (17); conditions of duodenum (18); as accompanying structural alterations (20). (B) Excessive Biliaby Seceetion, 12 Fallacies respecting its occurrence (21). Pathological conditions by which it is produced, including its connection with high atmospheric tempera- ture, and theory of this connection (24). (C) Vitiated Biliaey Secretion, 16 Evidence of its occurrence (32). Healthy composition of BUe (33); re- cent investigations of Demargay (35). Variations in its physical quali- ties (73):—in its colour; black and pale bile (42, 43)—in its consistence; as containing solid particles (44). Biliary concretions (45); composition of these; their modes of formation (46); concretions not biliary (47). Nox- ious effects from inoculation of bile as a proof of its vitiation (48). Pa- thological conditions producing vitiations of bUe (49). IMPEDED EXCRETION OF BILE, 25 Detention, without structural change (50), as depending on state of duo- / denum (52);—on palsy of ducts (53);—on spasm (54);—on viscidity of bUe (55). Usually attended with re-absorption, producing jaundice: ex- ceptions (56).
