Sugar is a substaQce that dissolYes

osmosis, and so the question of It's
absorption seemed simple enough. e he
disease diabetes showed, however, that
sugar might exist very pIentifu1ly in /
the blood, and yet the nutrition Of an
indivi dual suffer very much for the
lack Of it. Something else besides its
mere presence IN the system was nee
essary to secure its consumption by
the tissues. Bernard thought that the
liver was active in the consump tion of
sugar, and that disease Of this organ
caused diabetes. He therefore secured
some OF the blood going to the liver
of living animal, and some Of the
blood that was just leaving it. it. 81 TO his
surprise the blood Leaving the liver

his EobserVa tions were corrects he tried

found that even in the blood leaving
the liver Of an animal that had been
fed only on substances containing
no sugar, i sugar could be demonstrate.
Led. Even in a fasting animal the liver
itself and the blood leaving it showed
the presence Of a form Of sugar, The
only possible conclusion from this was
that the liver was capable Of manu-
featuring this form Of sugar out Of
non non sugar containing material, or
even from the blood of fasting ami
ma. This was the first time in physi-
ology that the idea Of an internal SCI
erection was advanced. Glands within

secretion was conducted to where it
was to produce its effect. The idea
that glands exist which poured their
