The result of an analysis undertaken immediately subse- 
uent to the animal s demise, the single organs contained the 
blowing percentage of sugar: Liver, o.io. Kidneys, 0.013. 
luscles, 0.0066. Bile, 0.023. Blood, 0.06. Brain and spinal 
lord, 0.02. 
The latest case of diabetes mellitus determined by Frohner 
as in a thirteen-year-old maleskye terrier, which, according 
) the ownei, had passed abundant urine for three weeks, and 
a.d throughout this period continued to progressively ema- 
ate, grow listless and to suffer from diarrhoea. The stomach 
Gained no food, and eating materially depressed the patient, 
he examination, as described by Frohner, found the animal in 
badly nourished condition, Schneiderian and stomatic mu- 
ous membranes pale ; rectal temperature, 98.9° F.; pulse, 
10, small and wiry. Consumption of solids small, but large 
aantities of water taken. Palpation of the posterior body, 
ibject manifested tenderness of the epigastric region and 
'ilargement of the liver. Feces thin in consistence, foamy 
ad very offensive. Urine pale yellow color, containing 
;bumen and 3.9 per cent, of grape sugar. Animal disinclined 
' move; cloudiness in each eye, with well defined radiating 
oacity. A small abscess upon the cornea of the left eye is 
: marked. During the following night the patient died, but 
ie owner declined to permit a post-mortem to be held. 
According to Frohner, the frequency of this disease is not 
feat, and may be limited to one in every ten thousand ani- 
lals admitted to the hospital. The symptoms of diabetes in 
( nidas are precisely similar to those in man, with the exception 
tat in the human patient the course is slower and less fatal. 
the two cases just described, the post-mortem is specially 
imarkable, in that the liver was almost exclusively the only 
tgan pathologically altered. From the intensity of the he- 
I tic disease we are led to assign more or less of a relation and 
cpendence of diabetes mellitus upon a deranged liver.— Bcr-
