suppression of urine, over 500 c.c. being passed in the last five 

 hours. 



The urine of the last two days is of interest ; there was no 

 acetone and no increase in glycosuria, but a very great increase in 

 ammonia and in total nitrogen indicating a marked ante-mortem 

 increase in protein katabolism. 



Sugar was determined by titration with Fehling's or Pavy's 

 solutions; and /9-oxybutyric acid and its derivatives by the writer's 

 method.
