chyliferous vessels. From Wordnet, Princeton University.
It differs from the lymphatic diarrhoea, as the chyliferous diabætes differs from the aqueous and mucaginous diabætes. From Wordnik.com. [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
No chyliferous vessels have been found in crustaceans, whence one may conclude that the chyle leaves the intestine by oozing from it, just as it does in insects. From Wordnik.com. [The History of a Mouthful of Bread And its effect on the organization of men and animals] Reference
The following case of chyliferous diabetes is extracted from some letters of Mr. Hughes, to whose unremitted care the infirmary at Stafford for many years was much indebted. From Wordnik.com. [Zoonomia, Vol. I Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
If it is the intestinal branch, the chyliferous diabætes is produced: if it is the cutaneous or pulmonary branch, the aqueous diabætes is produced: and if the cellular or cystic branches, the mucaginous diabætes. From Wordnik.com. [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
But in the coarse earth with which he fills himself I can already see the delicate chyme which his numerous servants will prepare for him later on, and into which the heart-tree will one day send down its roots -- the chyliferous vessels. From Wordnik.com. [The History of a Mouthful of Bread And its effect on the organization of men and animals] Reference
The chyliferous vessels derive a very great proportion of reparative materials; there is found but little excrementitious residue, the blood is enriched and its course accelerated, while the impulsive force of the heart and arteries is strong and more lively.

The lymphatic vessels of the small intestine receive the special designation of lacteals or chyliferous vessels; they differ in no respect from the lymphatic vessels generally excepting that during the process of digestion they contain a milk-white fluid, the chyle. From Wordnik.com. [VIII. The Lymphatic System. 1. Introduction] Reference
There is another kind of diarrhoea, which has been called cæliaca; in this disease the chyle, drank up by the lacteals of the small intestines, is probably poured into the large intestines, by the retrograde motions of their lacteals: as in the chyliferous diabetes, the chyle is poured into the bladder, by the retrograde motions of the urinary branch of absorbents.

chyliferous, i. From Wordnik.com. [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
It is either termed chyliferous, or aqueous, or mucaginous, from the nature of the fluid brought into the bladder; and is either a temporary disease, as in hysteric women, in the beginning of intoxication, in worm cases, or in those exposed to cold damp air, or to great fear, or anxiety, or in the commencement of some dropsies; or it becomes chronical. From Wordnik.com. [Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life] Reference
The chyliferous diabetes, like this chyliferous diarrhoea, produces sudden atrophy; since the nourishment, which ought to supply the hourly waste of the body, is expelled by the bladder, or rectum: whilst the aqueous diabetes, and the aqueous diarrhoea produce excessive thirst; because the moisture, which is obtained from the atmosphere, is not conveyed to the thoracic receptacle, as it ought to be, but to the bladder, or lower intestines; whence the chyle, blood, and whole system of glands, are robbed of their proportion of humidity.
