Becovery took place in all of the cases which are recorded in Table 

 I. There were also four fatal cases; two died during the first day in 

 the hospital without excreting any urine and in the remaining two, 

 the first samples of urine following the injection of alkali were lost. 

 Of the sixteen cases which are recorded, there was but one in which 

 the urine had an alkaline reaction; the quantities of sodium bicarbonate 

 which were administered varied from two to eighteen times the maxi- 

 mum amount which was required to render the urine alkaline in the 

 control cases.
