About this person

He assisted in establishing the glycogenic function of the liver; showed that one of the functions of the liver is to separate the cholesterol, a product of the nervous system, from the blood. This becomes a constituent of the bile, and is afterward converted into what he named "stercorin", the odorous principle of feces.
