Alterations in the amount of perspiration may also be I present in the form of excess or deficiency. These changes I may be local or general. It is open to question whether I in such symptoms there is not also a disturbance of the | secretory nerves. In addition to these external symptoms of vasomotor 1 disturbance, there may be others connected with secretory | apparatus, in which, however, it is possible that there is, along | with the vascular change, some interference with the nerves jj of secretion. Excessive or modified secretion from the lachrymal glands may be found in certain affections. Excessive or modified secretion from the salivary glands may be observed in some cases. Changes in the amount of the urine arc common— oliguria, or a deficient flow, being observed, as well as 'polyuria, or an excessive flow. There may be alterations in the character of the urine, the most common of these being albuminuria, dependent ] on some transitory affection of the vessels and epithelium , of the kidney, resulting from vasomotor disturbance, and 3 glycosuria, produced by some interference with the vascular
