The above excretion of creatin was not associated with acidosis. At no 

 time were acetone substances detected in the urine. 



Blatherwick has studied the calcium metabolism in a case of multiple 

 myeloma and found it at a higher plane than normal. He found that the 

 absorption of calcium was active as shown by the partial retention of 

 calcium* when calcium lactate was added to the diet. He concluded that as 

 a result of the osseous lesions a liberation of calcium has taken place which 

 is shown by an increased excretion. Williams in two days found 0.92 

 gm. and 1 gm. calcium in the urine of his patients, which represent high 

 values. 



Seegelken has reported the following findings in a case of multiple 

 myeloma excreting Bence-Jones' protein. 



The patient was on the following diet, Table No. VIII, during this 

 time and the metabolic findings are shown in Table No. X.
