Chittenden and Lambert — Experiments on the 



cially as there would be a slight loss of nitrogen through the hair shed 

 daily. On commencing the administration of uranium nitrate, small 

 doses were at first given two or three times daily in gelatin capsules, 

 at times not to interfere with digestion. On the second day, uranium 

 was detected in the urine. On June 12th, the 5th day the uranium 

 salt was given, a trace of albumin appeared in the urine and on the 

 day following, the 24 hours' urine contained 1*74 grams of albumin. 



With Uranium. 



On the 16th of June, the urine contained 7'7 grams of sugar. The 

 appearance and disappearance of both albumin and sugar were fol- 

 lowed quantitatively and the results will be discussed later on. 

 Naturally, the appearance of albumin in the urine compels a correc- 

 tion in the table of nitrogen results on those days when albumin 

 was excreted. This has been done by subtracting from the total 

 nitrogen found, the nitrogen equivalent to the albumin, on the 

 assumption that the latter contains 15-5 per cent, of nitrogen.
