Proteids.^—This term has been appHed to several sub- stances more or less closely allied, which in one form, or other go to make up by far the largest portion of the.animal body. The proteids possess no definite chemical formula; they are highly complex substances, and have never, with some exceptions, been obtained in a crystalline condition ; they are colloids—that is, they do not diffuse tlirough an animal membrane—and they are substances which are not only indispensable to the body, but nothing else can even temporarily replace them. The true type of proteid is the albumin found in blood, milk, eggs, etc., and these are true proteids, albuminous bodies, or albumins. Substances termed albuminoid, albuminate, albumose, albumid, proteose, etc, are not true albumins or proteids but only derivative bodies, in many respects closely allied to albumins, but possessing certain re- actions which clearly distinguish them from true proteids-. * I am indebted to Halliburton's 'Physiological Chemistry,' M'Kendrick's and Landois and Stirling's ' Text-books of Physiology,' for this account of the chemistry of the body.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21933480_0026.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
