The uric acid and all the salts increased, only the chlorides normal, the uroxanthin abundant, the urea diminished. The morning urine of the 14th of January had a specific gravity of 1019; the sulphates and the uric acid were very abundant. The morning urine of the 15th of January had a specific gravity of 1023, and a great deal of uroxanthin; other wise similar to that of the previous day. From the 20th to the 31st of January, I made almost daily quantitative and qualitative analyses of the urine. The morning urine was passed after dinner, or in the evening, was dark-sherry color. The specific gravity on the 20th was 1015, and the followed five days 1022. It had generally a strong acid reaction; abundance of uroxanthin; the urea was, as a rule, diminished, the chlorides generally normal, the earthy phosphates somewhat increased, the phosphates of soda and sulphates much increased; the uric acid was deposited in much greater quantity than in the normal state, but was of very loose texture, and hence a large quantity weighted very less. Thus the urine of the 22nd of January contained in 1000 parts 943.6 of water, and 56.4 of solid constituents, and among the latter uric acid formed only the 0.365th part. The urine of the 21st of January contained in 1000 parts 949.6 of p73 water, and 50.4 of solid constituents, of which the sulphates formed the 0.65th part. The urine on the 26th of January was also of a bright- yellow color, clear, without sediment, strongly acid, its specific gravity 1016, but otherwise resembled that of the previous days. The qualitative analysis showed in 100 parts 961.6 of water, and 38.4 of solid constituents. The uric acid was abundant. I took 22 grams of urine, precipitated the sulphates, and obtained 0.14 parts of sulphate of potash, which, consequently, in the proportion of 1000 parts, showed the presence of the considerable quantity of 5.6 parts. On heating recently emitted urine in an ammonia apparatus, the vapor arising tinged the litmus-paper blue, and the same reaction took place on adding caustic potash, which expelled the ammonia. Thus for three days there was free ammonia in my urine, which does not and should not occur in normal urine, and is to be ascribed to the action of the Sulphur. The urine of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of January was of a dark-sherry color, clear, and without sediment, had a specific gravity of 1018, 1019, and was not changed by heat; the urea was as usual small in quantity, the chlorides normal, the earthy phosphates abundant, the sulphates, and the phosphate of soda very copious. The uric acid, which was deposited in great quantity, was combined with ammonia. In the urine of the 30th and 31st of January were traces of iron; there can be no doubt that it came from the blood by a peculiar process of excretion, probably induced by the excess of Sulphur.
