secreted, and there is a slight apparent increase in the amount of phosphates. The 
cases of scrofula were dispensary patients of Mr. Toynbee ’ s , and no increase of phos- 
phates is observable in them. The case of exostosis was a very extreme case, and the 
phosphates are in about the healthy proportion. The first case of mollities was a still 
more severe one : there is a decided increase in the earthy phosphates ; and the alka-
