 ( Volume of urine analyzed was 900 c.c. It could not be learned whether this was the total for the remainder 

 of the 24 hours. The nitrogen and sugar for the total 24 hours are, therefore, not known.

CASE R. 



DESCRIPTION OF THE CASE. 



Male; born March 16, 1863; married; financier; developed symptoms of 

 diabetes in November 1903, but the diagnosis was not made until March 21, 

 1904; came under our observation June 27, 1910; died of pulmonary tuber- 

 culosis March 14, 1912. 



Family history. No history of diabetes in the family. Father well at 82; 

 mother died of arterio-sclerosis at 69. Three sisters and four children well. 

 Seven uncles died of pulmonary tuberculosis. 



Past history. Wiry but not strong. Measles, mumps, whooping-cough, 

 typhoid, scarlet fever, jaundice at approximately 15 years of age, malaria twice. 



General history of the case. The record of the case is given in full, because 

 no patient has come under our observation who more carefully carried out 

 modern dietetic treatment and also because of the extreme acidosis which dis- 

 appeared with the onset of tuberculosis. In November 1903 the patient was 

 "run down." In January 1904 he had polydipsia and was a trifle irritable. 

 The urine of March 21, 1904, had a specific gravity 1.041, with a sugar content 

 of 7.8 per cent. Under dietetic treatment sugar disappeared from the urine on 

 April 15, 1904, and did not return until March 13, 1905, when the diet was 

 somewhat relaxed. Later it again disappeared, not recurring until October 24, 

 1905. It was absent throughout 1906, and present at only two of 15 analyses
