Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes From the Physiological Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania, Vol. 2
The freshly evacuated faeces of each infant were carefully bottled and labelled, and a drop of a solu tion of iodine was added to a small portion of each specimen, which was then submitted to microscopi cal examination. Besides turning the starch blue, and indicating the presence Of dextrine by a peen liar mahogany-red color, the iodine has the advan tage of rendering any fats which may be present much more readily apparent. The reaction of each specimen was taken, but though this varied from acid to alkaline and neutral, no correlation between the reactions and the other properties Of the speci mens could be Observed. A decoction Of each was tested for glucose with freshly-prepared Fehling's solution, but except in one instance no appreciable amount could be found.
