-Part I. Auto-intoxication as a Cause and Complication of Disease
Although all the vital processes which take place in the body are in a great measure co-operative and interdependent, that of metabolism, with its indispensable function of elimination is conspicuous ...
-The Theoretical Biology of the Cyto-Lysins
Besides the better known products of metabolism the properties of which are fairly well understood, there is a class of bodies the functions of which are not so well known, the study of which is now e...
-Part II. The Individual Factors of Auto-intoxication - The Urine as Concerned in Auto-intoxication
The idea that the urine is distinctly poisonous is not a new one. For a long time it has been known that it contained poisons castoff from the system, that toxic symptoms ensued if it was consumed by ...
-The Urine And Auto-intoxication
The experimental study of the urine as a toxic factor consists in the administration to animals of the urine and the several substances which compose it. If injected subcutaneously we find that it act...
-The Urinary Components
Urea is the amid of carbonic acid, best represented by the constitution formula: It is neutral in its reaction, readily soluble in water, and when administered is excreted unchanged and as ammonium...
-The Urinary Components. Part 2
Indol although it exists in small amount in normal urine is formed particularly by the bacterial decomposition of proteids in the intestine. Its chief source is tyrosin, one of the cleavage product...
-Auto-toxins of Alimentary Origin
The auto-toxins of intestinal origin comprise by far the greater number of factors which may act as causes and by far the most virulent of the intrinsic poisons. Endeavoring always to exclude poisons ...
-The Bile Acids And Auto-intoxication
The Bile Acids have a powerful cytolitic action and even in small amounts cause widespread disintegration of the red blood corpuscles with liberation of their hemoglobin, and also the disintegration o...
-Ptomaines And Auto-intoxication
Although many of the monamins and diamins are physiologically inactive, and although many of the poisonous ones are the result of the pathogenic bacteria of the specific infectious diseases, there are...
-Ptomaines And Auto-intoxication. Part 2
Cadaverin Cadaverin, C5 H14 N2, is isomeric with saprin and neuridin, and is very commonly met with in decomposing animal tissues. It forms as early as the third day of putrefaction, preceding putres...
-Ptomaines And Auto-intoxication. Part 3
Neurin is a highly toxic substance of obscure genesis. It may be prepared from cholin and is almost always accompanied by it, but the manner in which it is formed in the body is not yet clear. It i...
-Leucomaines And Auto-intoxication
These are basic substances which either exist preformed in the proteid molecule or are produced by tissue metabolism. The leucomaines are cleavage products while the ptomaines are formed by the splitt...
-Leucomaines And Auto-intoxication. Continued
Pyrimidin Bases Of the Pyrimidin bases the di- and tri-amino derivatives are toxic, and these yield insoluble- compounds which may be deposited in the renal tubules. Hexon Bases Of the Hexon base...

Butyric Acid Butyric Acid, C4H802, is very commonly produced in gastro-intestinal fermentation, and is most commonly formed by the fermentation of cane sugar. It mixes with water in all proportions a...

The poison of Expired Air. It is well known that air once breathed is unfit for further respiration, and this change is due to the carbonic oxid it contains and to a peculiar poison caused by tissue w...

Although auto-intoxication may be concerned in any disease and any departure, however small, from normal physiological activity be followed by a corresponding change in the products of metabolism, it ...
-Diseases of the Digestive System
Since the digestive tract is the most common source of intrinsic toxic materials it is natural to suppose that its disorders are very commonly due to these substances. As already stated disorders of t...
-Constipation And Auto-intoxication
Constipation causes self-poisoning chiefly by retaining materials in the digestive tract long enough for absorption to take place, or for poisonous bases to form. It was shown in Part II that putresci...
-Hepatic Disorders And Auto-intoxication
The claim that diseases of the liver and gall bladder produce toxemia is based upon four facts: 1. That bile itself, when absorbed into the system, acts as a poison and produces a definite toxemia. ...

Hepatic Cirrhosis has been produced experimentally in animals by the administration of antipyrine, the bacillus coli communis, hyoscyamus, toxalbumins and an exclusive meat diet. (17) This suggests th...

The great similarity of the numerous toxic agents described in Part II with the better known poisons warrants one in making analogies which suggest that they too are capable of causing tissue changes,...

A large amount of clinical and experimental data combine in support of the view that the element of acid intoxication is a very important one in the etiology of lithemia, rheumatism, gout and the into...
