She had been fed on meat in great part with table refuse, and a 
fair amount of sugar and sweetmeats had been allowed. Urina¬ 
tion became frequent, and later the ability to control its flow 
was lost. No vomiting nor diarrhoea was present. It was at 
about this stage that she was presented in the Polyclinic. 
Prof. Eber remarked the tumor of the mammary gland and 
held the same for a malignant growth. He also pointed out be¬ 
ginning cataracts to the owner. After this date the symptoms 
grew more and more marked. She grew very apathetic. The food 
and water were taken in inordinate quantities, great emaciation, 
however, set in and there was almost complete paralysis of the 
sphincter vesicce. Early in May paresis appeared, and later con¬ 
vulsive symptoms with loud crying and evidence of great cerebral 
excitement. Death took place in one of these somewhat remit¬

took but little exercise, and at an early date became too fat to 
ascend the stairs. The diet had been the usual table offal and 
meats, including a fair amount of sugar each day. For the past 
six years there had been difficulty in respiration, for which he 
had at an earlier date been seen in the Polyclinic, where he had 
been prescribed nitroglycerine in minimum doses with good ef¬ 
fect. January last he was noticed to have increased thirst and 
appetite, when emaciation set in. He grew apathetic and 
drowsy. No paralysis was marked. Feb. 7, at this point of the 
case, he was examined in the Polyclinic for small animals, and 
after the usual examination was pronounced as diabetic, with 8 y 2 
per cent, of sugar in the urine. No medical treatment ordered, 
and autopsy sought but refused. Although put upon a thor¬ 
oughly flesh diet, all symptoms had increased by early May to a 
point when his hind legs were very weak, and in the early part 
of June he lay partially paralyzed and totally blind, after first
