From case of severe diabe-) tes (obtained by cupping) ) In eacli case my own process was checked by taking two samples of the blood for analysis. The same was also done in three instances with Bernard's volumetric process. On looking at the figures, it is evident that there must be something radically wrong either with Ber- nard's process or that dependent for action on the precipitation of the suboxide. One or other it is quite certain must be seriously faulty. Let us stop and subject Bernard's process to the test of experi- mental examination before I proceed further in the matter.
