LOCKHART CLARKE, in a paper on the Structure of the Spinal Cord, published in the PAilosop ica'l Transaction for 1851, gives the following summary of the princip facts described by him The posterior grey substance, at the lower extremity, and in the doral region of the spinal cord, consists only of a single mas; and the substantia gelatinosa there extends uninterruptedly across from one to the other. The nerve fibres of the grey substance, including those of the euacantia gelatinoa, are not grey fibres beang nuclei, like those of the sympathetic, but fine tubues. Two considerable columns of caudate vesicles (poaterior veilar co2umns) in intimate connexion with the posterior roots of the nerves, extend the whole length of the cord; commencing small at its lower extremity, increaing in size in the lumbar and cervical enlargements, and terminating at the upper part of the medulla oblongata. The number of caudate vesicles, particularly i the anterior grey substance, is in direct proportion to the size of the nerves. The column of vesicles into which, in the cervical region, the sinal accessory nerve may be traced, extends down the cord as far as the Tumbar enlargement. A considerable branch of the spinal accessory nerve, after entering the grey substance through the lateral column, may be easily traced to the caudate vesicles of the anterior cornu. The spinal accessory is the only nerve immediately attached to the lateral column. The posterior roots of the spinal nerves are immediately attached to the posterior white columns only; and the anterior roots to the anterior columns only; but fibres from both these roots, after traversing certain portions of the grey substance, pass out gain into the white columns. Neither the anterior nor the posterior white columns are connected by a transverse commiTsure. The central portion of the grey substance, ediately suirounding the spinal canal, is not a commissural structure, but a layer of fine fibrous tissue for supporting the walls of the canal, which is lined with a layer of columna epitheli","PeriodicalId":88928,"journal":{"name":"London journal of medicine","volume":"88 1","pages":"279 - 291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1852-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86726138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have already seen that bile is essential to the formation of chyle, that is, essential to the life of the animal; and that the characteristic of chyle as distinguished from chyme, is the presence of oil globules and molecules of fat. Do we, then, push our argument too far in saymg, that hydrogen is the peculiarly essential element in oil necessary to the nutritive and regenerative powers, seeing that the grand characteristic of oil is, that it is of all animal substances the richest in hydrogen. We have thus endeavoured to show; .1. That the main office of the liver is not to excrete hydrocarbonaceous matters, the result of the waste of the tissues; and therefore that its function is not vicarious with that of the lungs. 2. That the grand function of the liver is to create bile, without which bile the nutrition of the animal is impossible. S. That the grand office of the bile is to create the oil globules and fat molecules, as they are found in the chyle. 4. That tlhis oil is of a character different from ordinary oils, inasmuch as it is not only the most nutritious of all oils hitherto tested (cod-liver oil), but is, in short, an oil essential to the formative and regenerative processes (oil of chyle). 5. That in proportion to the relative size of the liver in the animal series, will be found the force of the formative and regenerative powers. 6. That although oxygen is essential to the vital force, yet one of its grand offices is to destroy tissues; and thus an antayoninm may be said to subsist between the functions of the lungs and the liver. 7. That the liver has the power of decomposing water, and using the hydrogen thus set free for the creation of bile. 8.
