The nitrogenous constituents of the
urine were decidedly increased after the use of Sulphur; the urea rose
from 31 grams to 42 grams; the uric acid rose from 0.3 to 1.2 grams; the
quantity of mucus was about doubled. In another case the urea rose from
25 to 27 grams; the uric acid from 0.6 to 0.8; mucus from 0.2 to 5.4 in
spite of increased evacuation from the bowels. In another case the urea
rose from 23 to 25 grams; the stable salts, earthy phosphates, unstable
salts, and extractives sometimes increased, sometimes diminished, [46]. ►
On the 22d of December, 1845, I examined the urine passed in the
evening, in regard to its chemical constituents. It had a very pale
white-wine color, and almost the appearance of so-called spastic urine;
when first passed, and after standing some time, it was equally pure and
clear, and had a specific gravity of 1018, that is, less than normal; a
marked acid reaction; an increased quantity of uric acid; a smaller
quantity of nitrate of urea than normal; earthy phosphates increased; a
large quantity of sulphates; a normal quantity of chlorides; phosphate
of soda in large quantity; uroxanthin diminished. The morning and
evening urine of the 23d of December had a specific gravity of 1015 and
1016, little ammonia, much free uric acid, and nearly a normal
proportion of sulphates. The urine examined on the 24th of December had
a specific gravity of 1021, that of the 28th of December, 1010, and that
of the 31st of December, 1021. As regards their constituents, however,
they exactly agree with the urine of the 22d of December. The urine
passed in the morning of the 7th of January, 1846, was of a dark-sherry
color, clear, deposited no sediment, had a strong acid reaction, and a
specific gravity of 1017. The earthy phosphates, sulphates and uric acid
were increased, the chlorides normal, the urea lessened. The morning
urine of the 8th of January was pale bright-yellow, clear, without
sediment, acid; it had a specific gravity of 1020. The earthy
phosphates, the sulphates, the phosphate of soda, and the uric acid were
increased, the chlorides normal. The morning urine of the 9th of January
was pale-sherry color, clear, without sediment, specific gravity 1021.
The uric acid and all the salts increased, only the chlorides normal,
the uroxanthin abundant, the urea diminished. The morning urine of the
14th of January had a specific gravity of 1019; the sulphates and the
uric acid were very abundant. The morning urine of the 15th of January
had a specific gravity of 1023, and a great deal of uroxanthin;
otherwise similar to that of the previous day. From the 20th to 31st of
January I made almost daily quantitative and qualitative analyses of the
urine. The morning urine was usually of a pale-sherry color, clear, and
without sediment; the urine passed after dinner, or in the evening, was
dark-sherry color. The specific gravity on the 20th was 1015, and the
following five days 1022. It had generally a strong acid reaction;
abundance of uroxanthin; the urea, was a rule, diminished, the chlorides
generally normal, the earthy phosphates somewhat increased, the
phosphates of soda and sulphates much increased; the uric acid was
deposited in much greater quantity than in the normal state, but was of
very loose texture, and hence a large quantity weighed very little. Thus
the urine of the 22d of January contained in 1000 parts 943.6 of water,
and 56.4 of solid constituents, and among the latter uric acid formed
only the 0.365th part. The urine of the 21st January contained in 1000
parts 949.6 of water, and 50.4 of solid constituents, of which the
sulphates formed the 0.65th part. The urine on the 28th of January was
also of a bright-yellow color, clear, without sediment, strongly acid,
its specific gravity 1016, but otherwise resembled that of the previous
days. The qualitative analysis showed in 1000 parts 961.6 of water, and
38.4 of solid constituents. The uric acid was abundant. I took 22 grams
of urine, precipitated the sulphates, and obtained 0.14 parts of
sulphate of potash, which, consequently, in the proportion of 1000 parts
showed the presence of the considerable quantity of 5.6 parts. On
heating recently emitted urine in an ammonia apparatus, the vapor
arising tinged the litmus-paper blue, and the same reaction took place
on adding caustic potash, which expelled the ammonia. Thus for three
days there was free ammonia in my urine, which does not and should not
occur in normal urine, and is to be ascribed to the action of the
Sulphur. The urine of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of January was of a
dark-sherry color, clear, and without sediment, had a specific gravity
of 1018, 1019, and was not changed by heat; the urea was as usual small
in quantity, the chlorides normal, the earthy phosphates abundant, the
sulphates, and the phosphate of soda very copious. The uric acid, which
was deposited in great quantity, was combined with ammonia. In the urine
of the 30th and 31st of January were traces of iron; there can be no
doubt that it came from the blood by a peculiar process of excretion,
probably induced by the excess of Sulphur, [29].® 2000
