Medicinally alkalies are indicated, as they diminish the acidity of the 

 urine and make it a better solvent for the uric acid. The less the acidity 

 of the urine, the greater its content of alkaline phosphates, and, therefore, 

 the greater the 'quantity of uric acid combined with alkalies, and, therefore, 

 more easily soluble. About 3i potassi. bicarb., either in powder or dis- 

 solved in a pint of water, is needed per day. Celestines Vichy, about 1 

 quart a day, is also of service, on account of its high calcium content. 

 Potassium salts are better than sodium salts, on account of the relative 

 insolubility of the sodium salts. 



(c) Oxalic Acid Calculi. It is to be recalled that the condition of 

 the urine most favorable for the solubility of the oxalates should present 

 an increased acidity from the double acid phosphates and an increased con- 

 tent of magnesia with a small amount of calcium. Therefore, we must 

 increase the acidity of the urine, decrease the calcium and increase the 

 magnesium.
