Two hours later, he was affected with extreme desire to micturate, though he could pass only a few drops of perfectly colorless urine.

From this time till he lost consciousness his desire to pass urine was constant; wherever he could retire he did so, but succeeded in expelling from the bladder, with considerable effort, only a few drops of colorless fluid.

Frequent urinating.

Frequent micturition, obscuration of vision, and thirst in the morning, (Case 14).

Much urinating.

Some urine passed (after an enema) for the first time (after thirteen hours); twenty-four hours after this urine excreted copiously.

Urine more copious than the drink taken would warrant.

Diuresis.

(Belladonna is, indeed, in the truest sense of the word, a diuretic, and more powerful, perhaps, than any other we possess).

One other fact relative to the effects of Belladonna is worthy of note, viz., its tremendous diuretic power.

I have observed that it does not seem to reach the kidneys until it has been some time in the stomach, and has exerted its specific influence upon the brain.

But its power over the secretion of urine is very great.

I am confident I passed, in the course of an hour, three pints of urine, accompanied with a slight strangury at the neck of the bladder.

Difficulty in urinating.

Bladder full and distended, the urine flows slowly and sluggishly through the catheter.

Ischuria for twenty-four hours; for six days after this the secretion did not exceed six ounces in the twenty-four hours, very high-colored, and apparently very thick (on twelfth day of taking one-half a grain of extract three time a day for diabetes insipidus).

Violent strangury towards the close.

Violent strangury, with bloody micturition (case of poisoning by 46 grains of the extract).

Could neither urinate nor discharge stool.

He passed no urine, and the bladder was evacuated by the catheter, the quantity being scanty, and strongly ammoniacal.

Retention of urine.

(Retention of urine, which only passes drop by drop.) Retention of urine almost invariably occurs during the action of a full dose of Belladonna, and dysuria very often follows.

We may encourage a patient to make prolonged efforts to pass urine when fully under the influence of the drug, and he will either fail altogether, or only pass a few drachm, and this not in little jerks which indicate spasm, but in weak driblets.

Indeed, the absence of spasm is readily determined.

If a full-sized flexible catheter be passed under these circumstances, it meets with no opposition, but passes readily into the bladder, and the urine flows as sluggishly as from the bladder of a patient afflicted with hemiplegia.

Retention of urine; often he would take the chamber without success; he ran much about, could not lie quiet for a minute, and had twitching of the facial muscles (after a quarter of an hour).
