DR. BENCE JONES ON THE VARIATIONS OF THE SULPHATES 
In these diseases no increase of sulphates was observed, except after sulphate of 
magnesia had been taken as a medicine. The quantity taken was usually two 
drachms ; yet the amount in the urine never reached to what it was when there was 
excessive action of the muscular or nervous structures.

Phosphates in acute diseases, in which neither the nervous nor muscular structures 
are chiefly affected.
