alcohol, and the characteristic urinary changes occurred only after the 
administration of large doses.

^ From urine for about ten hours before death. 
Sulphate determinations were frequently made upon the urine of 
normal rabbits kept under the same conditions as those which were 
receiving alcohol, the object being to determine if prolonged confine- 
ment would cause any increase in the excretion of ethereal sulphates. 
The latter did not occur. There were some variations in both the 
absolute amount of ethereal sulphates and in the percentage, but 
these never reached the figures constantly obtained with rabbits 
receiving alcohol.
