A gland injected from the ahsorhents only with quicksilver, which, on its external surface, immediately after it was injected, put on the same appearances that it afterwards did when it was dried, and viewed through oil of turpentine. I could then see nothing but the appearance of convoluted absorbents. Fig. 2. A gland injected also from the absorbents only, dried, and seen through oil of turpentine; where, in the outside view, I could then see nothing but the appearance of convoluted absorbents. Fig. 3. The same gland, as seen through the microscope, exhibiting only the former appearances. Fig. 4. A gland also injected with quicksilver only from the absorbents, where cells were evident, both immediately after it was injected, and after it was dried, and Viewed through oil of turpentine.
