![Reprinted from The Practitioner.] PERNICIOUS ANiEMIA. BY WILLIAM HUNTER, M.D., M.R.C.P. (L. AND E.), F.R.S.E., John Lucas Walker Student in Pathology, University of Cambridge ; Arris and Gale Lecturer, Royal College of Surgeons, England. I. Excretion of Pathological Urobilin. I propose in this and following papers to record some observa- tions I have recently made on the urine in a case of pernicious anaemia; and I do so the more willingly because they serve to supplement in some important particulars the observations I have already recorded regarding the symptomatology1 and pathology2 of this disease. The full clinical details of the case, that of a man aged 58, I shall reserve for another occasion. At present I shall only refer to such features as were specially characteristic, and will at the same time serve to establish the diagnosis of the disease. The observations on the urine were made during the last two and a half months of his illness, when I saw the patient from time to time along with Dr. Ingle. The weakness and debility, to which the patient succumbed on May 22 of the present year 1 Is Pernicious Anaemia a Special Disease ?
