Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ...in these different classes of animals. 64. As the ultimate product of the changes of all compounds of soda in the animal body, we find in the urine the soda in the form of a salt, and the nitrogen in that of ammonia or urea. The soda in the urine of the carnivora is found in combination with sulphuric and phosphoric acids; and along with the sulphate and phosphate of soda we never fail to find a certain quantity of a salt of ammonia, either muriate or phosphate of ammonia. There can be no more decisive evidence in favor of the opinion, that the soda of their bile, or of the metamorphosed constituents of their blood is very far from sufficing to neutralize the acids which are separated, than the presence of ammonia in their urine. This urine, moreover, has an acid reaction. In contradistinction to this, we find, in the urine of the herbivora, soda in predominating quantity; and that not combined with sulphuric or phosphoric acids, but with carbonic, benzoic, or hippuric acids. 65. These well-established facts demonstrate, that the herbivora consume a far larger quantity of soda than is required merely for the supply of the daily consumption of blood. In their food are united all the conditions for the production of a second compound of soda, destined for the support of the respiratory process; and it can only be a very limited knowledge of the vast wisdom displayed in the arrangements of organized nature, which can look on the presence of so much soda in the food and in the urine of the herbivora as accidental. It cannot be accidental, that the life, the development of a plant is dependent on the presence of the alkalies which it extracts from the soil. This plant serves as food to an extensive class of animals, and in these animals the vital...
