Urinary organs.
Burning in the orifice of the urethra while urinating during stool (sixth day). The urine passed the previous evening had become turbid, as if mixed with clay, with a thin film over the surface, looking like fat, and breaking to pieces when the liquid was moved; the urine was bright yellow, almost straw-colored (second day). The urine passed was bright yellow, but after standing an hour, a flocculent cloud seemed to hand on the upper surface; an hour later (two hours after urinating), this cloud sank to the bottom (third day). The urine passed yesterday is cloudy, as if mixed with clay, the surface covered with an iridescent film, with numerous red granules; these, when collected, had the appearance of sand, and when pressed by a knife, gave a crackling noise and formed brickdust powder. The urine passed in the morning, fasting, was clearer than that of yesterday, but had the same cloud. The urine became milky soon after it was passed, and after a few hours deposited a clear flocculent sediment, which, when collected on the filter, was slimy and of a rosy-red color, mingled with much red sand. A part was collected from filter and mixed in the glass tube with nitric acid, which dissolved the mucus with odorless frothing; the liquid then had a clear yellow color, and the grains of sand fell unaffected to the bottom. Another portion was mixed in a glass- tube with sulphuric acid, which completely dissolved the mucus with odorless frothing; the liquid then had a clear yellow color, and sand, and the liquid became dark brown; there was no frothing, but the liquid had a strong odor of decomposing urine.
The third portion was mixed with muriatic acid in a glass tube, but there was not the slightest change (fourth day). The urine passed in the morning was clearer than yesterday, and developed a cloud hanging from the upper surface, even before the urine became cold (fifth day). The urine passed this morning was decidedly darker than that of yesterday, without, however, being too dark; a cloud immediately formed after becoming cold (sixth day). The urine passed the fifth day formed a cloud but no sediment; that passed on the sixth day the same, but had again a red sand and the cloud lying at the bottom exhibited everywhere a number of these grains of sand looking like frog-spawn; the urine passed on the seventh day had the same character. The urine passed yesterday was still clear, showed no trace of decomposition, though it had stood the whole time in a warm room (seventh day). To-day the urine, while yet warm, formed a cloud, was clearer than on the fifth and sixth days, but darker than on the fifth day (eighth day). The urine passed yesterday became turbid and cloudy; after twenty-four hours had a slimy flocculent sediment of a dirty rose-red color. The urine passed toward evening was quite clear and lemon yellow. The urine passed on the fifth day was beginning to decomposed, but without being turbid; that of the sixth, seventh, and ninth days is unchanged; that of the eighth day has, in addition to a cloud, a white pellicle, like an iridescent film of fat on the surface. The urine passed to-day developed a cloud while still warm (ninth day). The urine passed on the ninth day is very turbid and cloudy, with iridescent flakes, that with difficulty sank to the bottom; it has already begun to decompose. The urine passed in the morning, and also that of the eighth day, has not begun to decompose. The cloud lying in the bottom of the vessel is full of large grains of red sand. The urine passed on the ninth day has the same peculiarities, with the addition of a white fatty film on the surface, in which are entangled numerous grains of red sand. The urine passed on the tenth day is the same, rather turbid yellow, has a cloud at the bottom, but no perceptible colored sand. The urine passed last evening is lemon-yellow and very turbid (tenth day).
