Owing to the complexity of the attendant circumstances, it is not possible to assign 
the precise cause to each variation ; but the relation of temperatiu'e and barometric 
indications will be considered further on. 
[Belation of Urinary Water to Weight of Body. 
A reference to Plate XXXVI. will show that there is a very marked and an inverse 
relation between the variations in the quantity of urine evolved and those of the weight 
of the body on the same day. There is not an exact correspondence between the two, 
since the weight of the body must be influenced by many other circumstances than that 
of the loss of urine ; but a selection of the instances in which there was a large and 
sudden variation in the quantity of urine will suffice to prove the close relationship 
referred to, and shown in the following Table.
