Sugar In the Human System.

Sugar is q substance that dissolves
easily and in considerable quantity In
water. When In solution 1t easily pass

absorption seemed simple enough.
The disease diabetes shovel. how
ever, that sugar might exist very
plcntifully In the blood anu yet the nu-
triton of an Individual suffer very
much for the lack CT 1T. Something
else besides its mere presence In the
system was necessary to secure its
consumption by the tissues.
Bernard thought that the liver was
active In the consumption of sugar and
that disease Of this organ caused dia-
betes. He therefore secured some Of
the blood going to the liver of n living
animal and some of the blood that was
just leaving it. TO his surprise, the
blood leaving the liver contained more
. sugar than that entering 1t.
After assuring himself that lis OBJ
servationS were correct, he tried his
experiments in different ways. He
found that even in the blool leaving
the liver of an animal that had been
fed only on substances containing 10
sugar, sugar could be demonstrated.
Even in fasting animal the liver it.

the presence Of Il form of sugar
The only possible conclusion from
this was that the liver was capable of
manufacturing this form of sugar out
