The liver.

--A series of investigations, extending through the last twenty years, and conducted in the most careful manner, by the ablest physiologists of France, Germany, England and America, have demonstrated that the liver of man, as well as that of most other animals, secretes sugar from substances brought to it by the blood, and it is found that the liver continues to produce sugar some twenty-four hours after death; even when the organ is removed from the system.
