Bouchardat 1 has published an analysis of milky urine passed 

 by a woman with this disease. It contained no traces of sugar 

 of milk or casein, the appearance being due to a large amount 

 of urate of ammonia. It is moreover remarkable for the large 

 quantity of fat and of albumen. It contained : 



Water . . . 940-9 



Solid constituents . 59'1 



Urea . . 12-4 



Uric acid . 1'5 



Albumen and mucus . 29'2 



Fat . . 2-5 



Alcohol-extract with lactates, &c 5*3 



Alkaline sulphates . 2' 7 



Phosphate of soda, and biphosphate of ammonia 4'2 

 Alkaline chlorides . 0-8 



Earthy phosphates . 0-5 



It must be observed that this urine was clear on emission, 

 and only became turbid on cooling.] 



Nysten2 analysed the urine of a person aged 23 years, suf- 

 fering from peritonitis. He found it of a dark-red colour, 

 perfectly transparent, of the ordinary odour of urine, and of an 

 acid reaction. An albuminous pellicle formed on the surface 

 during evaporation, and the whole finally coagulated into a trem- 

 bling gelatinous mass. Nysten states that this urine contained 

 thrice the quantity of urea that
