This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...of fat, but the function of the affected part is not materially changed. Etiology. Excess Food.--House dogs and cats and many family horses are usually fed to excess, resulting in the deposition of excessive quantities of fat in practically all tissues, thus producing general obesity. The "Strassburg goose" is force-fed with dough balls in excessive quantities until excessive obesity is produced, the liver especially becoming the seat of marked fatty accumulations.

Venesection.--Frequent bleeding diminishes the percentage of red blood corpuscles and thus indirectly diminished oxidation and favors fat accumulation. Disease.--Some diseases appear to influence the physiologic deposition of fat. The early stages of tuberculosis in cattle and hogs and distomatosis in sheep is accompanied by physiologic fatty deposition. During convalescence from some diseases there is an increased deposition of fat. Lactation.--The early period of lactation is accompanied by fatty accumulation especially in the liver. (Possibly the liver may act as a distributing center of fat.) The fatty accumulation in the liver is evident regardless of any variations in the composition of food stuff.
