Froceeclings of Royal Society of Edinburgh [se ss. 
food seems to be indicated by tlie small amount passed, when a small 
amount of proteids were being absorbed (see p. 102). But since 
only percentage amounts, and not the total amount of twenty-four 
hours, were obtainable, no definite conclusions can be based on 
these figures. 
A careful series of experiments on the influence of different diets 
and of muscular work would probably have thrown valuable light 
on the nature of the condition ; and such a series of experiments 
had been planned and arranged for when the patient’s death super- 
vened. 
Analyses. 
Percentage Composition of Glohulin — 
For the carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen I am indebted to Mr Murray, B.Sc., 
of the Chemical Laboratory of the University. 
Sulphur — 
Exp. I. 0*332 grms. crystals dried at 110° C. fused with KHO and 
NaKOg— 
BaS04 = 0*029 
S = 0*003987 
= 1*197 per cent. 
Exp. II. 0*373 grms. crystals dried at 110° C. fused with KHO and 
NaNOg— 
BaS04 = 0*043 
S = 0*005912 
= 1*314 per cent. 
Exp. III. 1*752 grms. crystals dried at 110° C. fused with KHO and 
NaNOg— 
BaS04 = 0*158 
S = 0*021725 
= 1 *23 per cent. 
Nitrogen of Urine not Proteid — 
Dec. 1. Proteids precipitated by boiling and 5 cc. of filtrate boiled with 
H2SO4 and Hg, and 1ST. estimated according to Argutinsky’s 
modification of Kjeldahl’s method {Pfluger's Arch., 1889) — 
N = 0*42 grm 
== *84 per cent.
