In this Table are placed those cases which from their symptoms or post-mortem 
appearances could not be affirmed to be inflammations of the brain. Case 4 was 
most remarkable : the violent symptoms abated on the 5th day ; but the post-mortem 
examination on the 26th day showed no positive marks of inflammatory action. On 
this account I have placed it in the class of functional diseases : further experiments 
may ultimately show, that the great increase in alkaline phosphates alone is sufficient 
to indicate the nature of the disease. In Cases 5 and 6 no excess of phosphates is 
observable. The 5 th and 6th days of Case 8 are particularly remarkable. The 6§ of 
water on the 6th morning were strongly acid to test-paper, and remained so for eight 
days in June. Case 9 ; the 5th day was most remarkable, as no alkaline phosphate 
was present : the urine was acid to test-paper. In the other cases of delirium tre- 
mens, when food could be taken, the phosphates did not appear to be much affected.
