Tenth day. After animal food had formed the greatest part of his diet for ten days; 
he remained this day in bed until after breakfast. 
Urine passed at 
8b 20“A.M. Clear; no trace of albumen; acid. Specific gravity =1023'4 grs. 
passed before breakfast. 5 1 1‘7 grs. precipitated by alcohol. Precipitate =0*40 
gr. =0*78 gr. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Eleventh day. The following morning ; up early. 
Urine passed at 
8^ 10“A.M. Cloudy; contained some blood-globules, but no trace of fibrinous 
casts; acid. Specific gravity =1022*6; passed before breakfast. Gave a 
considerable precipitate with heat and acid. 511*3 grs. precipitated by alcohol. 
Precipitate =9*40 grs. =18*38 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
The following table shows these results clearly ; — 
Seventh day. Remained in bed late. 
Specific gravity. Precipitate by alcohol. 
8^ 10“ A. M. In bed. Urine passed before breakfast, clear =1021’3 = 0‘6 gr. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
9'^30“a.m. In bed. Urine passed after breakfast, opalescent =1019*0 = 2'7 
Eighth day. Up early. 
6 A.M. On getting up. Urine passed before breakfast, clear 
7*^ 30“ A.M. Up. Urine passed before breakfast, opales^ 
Ninth day. Remained in bed late. 
Tenth day. Remained in bed. 
20“ A.M. Urine passed before breakfast, clear 
Eleventh day. Up early.

The precipitate chiefly consisted of sulphates and a little phosphate of lime, and 
no uric acid. 
These experiments show most clearly the influence of rest and the effect of rising, 
(and even of waking) in causing the albumen to appear in the urine. The compa- 
rison of the 8th day with the 7th or 9th, and the great difference between the 1 1th 
and 10th days is quite conclusive. In other experiments I frequently determined 
before-hand whether the urine before breakfast should be albuminous or not, by 
directing the patient to get up and move about early or to keep very quiet in bed. 
And by keeping in bed all the day the urine throughout the whole day was very 
slightly albuminous.
