Whipple and Pelkan² have recently reported experiments which indicate that phenol conjugation is a function of the liver which gives information of value in a study of the physiology of the liver. Phenol ingestion is too toxic for clinical use. Many papers³ dealing with the injection of phenoltetrachlorphthalein have appeared during the past few years. This dye is eliminated promptly from the blood by the liver and appears in the bile and intestine.
