Toxic Effect of Various Concentrations of Bile on Dog's Gall Bladder. ∗

Summary

1. Concentration of ox bile more than half, has a marked toxic effect on the dog's gall bladder, causing death and bile peritonitis in many instances. 2. The foreign matter in bile is not the cause of these changes since the gall bladder is not affected by bile which is not concentrated. 3. Redilution of concentrated bile makes the bile ineffective, proving that infection is not responsible for the change.
