    mechanical labour performed. It is a measure of disintegration | of albumen; in bealtb, of albumen of food; in disease, of albumen of the body. Quantitative analyses as a means of studying disease; as a means of diagnosis in individual cases. I Uric acid. Renewed inquiries of chemists as to its determina- tion. Cautions. Urates ; supposed polyurates ; deposits of urates in bealtb. Xanthine. Artificial production. Physiological quantity. Hypoxanthine. Questionable whether it occurs regularly in healthy urine. Deposit of in a case of kidney and liver disease. Creatinine. Researches on its quantity. No creatine in urine. Creatinine lost in the process of obtaining the products of urochrome by acids and subsequent treatment with lime. Hippuric acid. Analytical remarks. Physiological bearings of late researches. Accidents of food. Physiology of glycocoll demanded. Sulphur. Alleged unoxydized. Proust’s conclusion from blackened silver-vessels. New analyses. Sulphuric acid. Obtained as gypsum during evapo- ration. Double origin; food and sulphur of albumen. Flm~- phoric acid. Forms acid and alkaline salts. Economy of bones, of blood, and of urine. Chlorine. The quantitative analyses> have taught little that is of practical value. Their results may i be foretold by analyses of the food. Soda. Its part in the < biliary function, and in the combustion of organic acids gene- rally. Prevalence in the blood. Potash. Prevalence in the: muscles. Lime. Deposits and concretions of phosphate and 1 oxalate of lime. Magnesia. Derived from food and drink^sl beer in particular. Calculi, covering nuclei of pus. Const!- i tution of the urine of man, compared to that of aniraals.-l Peculiarities more determined by food and mode of life than \ by species. Variations in ages, sexes; hourly and daily varia- : tions. The progress of the future. Object of research being j the knowledge of the chemical processes in animals and man. 1 for the physician particularly the obtaining of the standard bj 1 which to judge the chemical changes of disease. LECTURE II. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30th, 8 p.m. ; VARIATIONS OF THE URINE IN DISEASES! Abnormal, particularly red, colouring matters. Indications 1 General in acute febrile diseases, with excess of urea. An ac of over-oxydation. No change or uncertain change of colour i chronic disease. Accidental changes of colour to be notice
