296 DR. ROBERTS ON THE DIURNAL 
APPENDIX. 
On two days the effects of cane sugar and honey were 
tried. Neither seemed to produce any depression of the 
hourly quantity of urinary acid discharged. On the first 
day a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar was dissolved in 
water and taken at eight am. At two p.m. half a pound 
was taken in the same way, instead of dinner. No solid 
of any sort, or other liquid than water, was taken during 
the experiment. 
On the second day half a pound of honey was taken for 
breakfast at eight in the morning, with water; and no 
_ solid food was again taken until the conclusion of the 
experiment. 
The annexed tables exhibit the results obtained.
