Referee's report by Ernest Henry Starling, on a paper 'Changes observable in the liver cells during digestion and their relation to hepatic secretion' by Edward William Wace Carlier Sectional Committee: Physiology Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. The results do not justify the wide conclusions drawn from them by the author. The work itself is founded on assumptions which are unproven. The author does not bring forward any experimental evidence to confirm the conclusions drawn from histological observations which in themselves might be susceptible to many other interpretations.
