4 h 3 Qm p jyj Milky ; one ounce, mixed afterwards with 4 o’clock water. It con- 
tained a very little blood. He was bled immediately afterwards. Four ounces 
of this urine were evaporated to dryness, treated with boiling water, filtered, 
tested with sulphate of copper and liquor potassae ; gave no evidence of sugar. 
6 p.M. Very milky urine, with blood-globules and coagula. Specific gravity 
= 1018; neutral to test-paper; about two ounces, made before tea. 
509‘0 grs. evaporated, in vacuo, over sulphuric acid — 
Residue .... =28'95 grs. 
= 56‘87grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Ash=5'50 . . . = 10'80 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
509‘0 grs., precipitated by an excess of alcohol — 
Albumen and fat=10‘90 grs. . . . =22'41 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Ether dissolved = 3'8 grs. . . . = 7’46 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Therefore albumen ....... = 13’93 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
509’0 grs., evaporated to dryness, treated with absolute alcohol, filtered when cold — 
Residue=12‘85 grs. . . . =25‘24 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Ash = 0’60gr = 1*18 gr. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Therefore urea and extractive =24*06 grs. per 1000 grs. of urine. 
Hence — 
Total dry residue = 56*87 gi’s. per 1000 grs. of urine.

The conclusions from these experiments are ; — 
1st, That so-called chylous urine may contain fat, albumen, fibrin and healthy 
blood-globules. 
2ndly. That although the fat passes off in the urine after food is taken, yet the 
albumen and fibrin and blood-globules are thrown out before any food has been 
taken. During perfect rest the albumen ceases to be excreted, and it does not appear 
in quantity in the urine even after food is taken, provided there is perfect rest. A 
short time after rising early the urine may coagulate spontaneously, although no fat 
is present in perceptible quantity, and this may happen previous to any food, 
3rdly. Though the urine made just before and a short time after bleeding was as 
milky as it usually was at that period of the day, yet the serum of the blood was not 
milky. It did not contain a larger quantity of fat than healthy blood does. In other
