BREAKFAST AND BILE.—A certaia amount of
bilious congestion seems to be natural in the morning.
That the bile is periodically stored up might be inferred
from the anatomical structure of the liver, which has not
wily its system of ducts, but also a gall-bladder hold
that to
thst. fluid until it is wanted; experimental researchhemi(ituroe:
over has shown, that little bile escapes inns
