536 APPENDIX. 



posited a trifling sediment, composed for the most part of al- 

 buminous fungi, cylinders, and pavement epithelium with a 

 few mucus-corpuscles. 



The urine was faintly acid, but in the course of thirty-six 

 hours became alkaline. The specific gravity was 1009. It 

 did not contain much albumen, and only a very little uroxan- 

 thin. In 1000 parts there were contained : 



Water .... 978-5 



Solid constituents . . . . 21-5 



Urea . . . .2-5 



Uric acid .... traces 

 Albumen . . . .4-6 



Extractive and colouring matters . 9'4 



Fixed salts . . .5-0 



On a further examination of the salts it was found that the 

 chloride of sodium was extremely diminished. 



The urine was examined on two separate occasions, some 

 days later, in relation to the solid constituents generally and to 

 the albumen. There were found : 



1. 2. 



Water . . . 978-6 978-2 



Solid constituents . . 21-4 21-7 



Albumen . . .4-5 4-5 



Hence in these respects it had remained constant. 



Some weeks later, and very shortly before the patient's 

 death, the urine was again examined. It was red from the pre- 

 sence of blood, had a putrid odour, and deposited a sediment, 

 which, in addition to the ordinary constituents, contained nume- 

 rous blood- and mucus-corpuscles, undoubted pus-globules, and 

 a little uric acid. The reaction was acid, and the specific gra- 

 vity 1010. A considerable amount of uroxanthin was present. 



In 1000 parts there were contained : 



Water .... 976-23 



Solid constituents . . . 23*77

The chloride of sodium was much diminished. 



Hence we see that blood occurs in the urine, not only in
