THE SECRETIONS : 



1021*8 were passed in twenty-four hours : there were 36 parts 

 of solid residue in 1000 of urine. In a third case in which the 

 patient had been much depressed by venesection and large doses 

 of tartarized antimony, and where the pulse was 104, there 

 were 30 ounces of dark-yellow, turbid, acid urine, of specific 

 gravity 1015-9, and containing 26-3 of solid residue in 1000 

 parts, emitted in twenty-four hours. 



Becquerel has made one complete analysis of the urine in a 

 case of pneumonia in which the pulse was 100. He found

I have made two analyses of urine passed in pneumonia. 

 Analysis 100 represents the urine of a man aged 35 years ; it 

 was of a fiery-red colour, clear, and strongly acid; the pulse 

 was full, 108 in the minute. 



Analysis 101 represents the urine of a man aged 40 years ; 

 it was of a dark yellow colour, had an acid reaction, and con- 

 tained a considerable quantity of mucus. In both cases there 

 was a good deal of albumen.

If we calculate the amount of the more important consti- 

 tuents in relation to 100 parts of solid residue in these three 

 analyses, we shall find that they exhibit very close approxi- 

 mations to each other, and on contrasting them with the nor- 

 mal standard, it will appear that the urea is a little diminished,
