In the present case all the other phenomena of intermittent 

 haematuria attend ; and in the second specimen of urine there were 

 many free blood corpuscles and blood casts ; while in the first the 

 most careful searching detected none. 



The treatment found most useful in intermittent haematuria — that 

 by anti-periodic doses of quinine, preceded by a purgative dose of 

 calomel — has here also been the most satisfactory, there being no 

 recurrence since its adoption, although four weeks have now elapsed, 

 while other modes of treatment adopted since October, 1870, when the 

 affection first appeared, have signally failed. 



Dr. J. G. Kichardson exhibited a slide charged with pulmonary 

 elastic tissue from the boiled sputa (according to Dr. Fenwick's 

 method) of a phthisical patient in the Episcopal Hospital, and called 

 the attention of the Section to two characteristics of its elastic fibres : 

 first, the delta (A), rather than simple Y-shape frequent among the 

 fragments, which he attributed to the greater resistance, at the meeting 

 point of the walls of three air-vesicles, to any disintegrating process ; 

 and second, the transverse fracture of its component elastic filaments, 

 resembling that of an india-rubber thread, instead of a frayed-out 

 appearance, similar to that presented at the extremity of a broken 

 cotton or linen string. 



By these peculiarities pulmonary elastic tissue can generally be 

 distinguished from objects which occasionally counterfeit its aspect, 

 as, for example, folds in the walls of boiled starch corpuscles, mycelial 

 threads of fungi (which, when dichotomous, often have stem and 

 branches of nearly the same diameter), and vegetable fibres, which 

 seldom break transversely, and which, when split, generally assume 

 the Y and not the delta shape.
