![less organic matter to the same amount of salts. It is only very rarely that we find it more concentrated, and richer in organic constituents than the serum. Dropsical fluids, especially those that have collected in large quantity in the serous cavities, have been often submitted to analysis. Of these analyses, I will only quote so many as are essential to the clear under- standing of their chemical relations,* and for their better comparison with the normal serum of the blood. l a s 4 » 6 7 •Serum of the Hydrocele.

These analyses, conducted in different ways, and therefore not admit- ting of close comparison, clearly show the great similarity between the serum of the blood and these dropsical fluids. In analysis 2, the drop- sical fluid is almost identical quantitatively with the serum ; in the * The most important chemical analyses of dropsical fluids may be found in the following works and Memoirs :—Berzelius’ Thicrchemie, 4th Edit. p. 198; Leop.
