Abstract
The subject of dissociated jaundice has been discussed by a number of French physicians during the past five years.

As will be seen from our observations, the plasma may under some conditions, not yet clearly understood, retain a large amount of bile pigment and yield none of it to the kidney, although the kidney function may be perfectly normal. This adsorptive property of the plasma may hold bile pigment so firmly
