Page 199 - Having allowed the urine to repose for a minute or two, remove the greater portion of the fluid with a pipette, and replace it by distilled water. A white powder, often of a glistening appearance, will now become visible, and this, under a low magnifying power, as by placing the capsule under a microscope furnished with a halfinch object-glass, will be found to consist of crystals of oxalate of lime in beautifully formed transparent octohedra, with sharply defined edges and angles.
Page 473 - ... a little ptyalin, and fat, and when examined under the microscope there are seen abundance of pavement epithelium and mucus-corpuscles with fat-vesicles, and, in addition to these, numerous long acicular bodies and infusoria of the genera Vibrio and Monas.
Page 199 - Decant the upper 6-7ths of the urine, pour a portion of the remainder into a watch-glass, and gently warm it over a lamp ; in a few seconds the heat will have rendered the fluid specifically lighter, and induced the deposition of the crystals of oxalate, if any were present : this may be hastened by gently moving the glass, so as to give the fluid a rotatory motion, which will collect the oxalate at the bottom of the capsule. The application of warmth serves...
Page 419 - The large amount of sulphur in hair (averaging 5g) is the cause of its colour being affected by various metallic salts. As there is no constant difference in the results obtained by the analysis of hair of various tints, it is to be presumed that the colour is dependent on peculiar arrangements of the ultimate particles.
Page 32 - ... or acetic acid. They have always found lactic acid, with a minute proportion of phosphoric acid, the latter being a product of the reaction of the lactic acid on the phosphates present. Acc.ording to their opinion, lactic acid is a constant production of the stomach. They do not mean to say that...
Page 472 - ... first reddish, but afterward either bronzed or white. The scarf-skin often scales off. After another period of weeks, months, or even years, many of the tubercles subside, and leave a kind of cicatrix thinner than the surrounding skin. The tubercles which do not subside, or which break out again, may vary from the size of a pea to that of a pigeon's egg, and, after continuing, it may be, for years, they ulcerate, discharging a whitish matter. The ulcers often eat Into the muscle till they expose...
Page 387 - was passed by a hydrocephalic infant whilst under the influence of mercury, and presented the following characters. It was a dirty-green turbid fluid which, by repose in a glass vessel, separated into three very distinct portions; — 1, a supernatant fluid, of oil-like consistence, presenting a brilliant emerald-green...
Page 153 - The alkali which these substances contain is invariably combined with phosphoric acid : the acids formed in the organism by the vital process, namely, sulphuric acid, hippuric acid, and uric acid, share the alkali amongst them, and this, of course, must give rise to the liberation of a certain amount of phosphoric acid, or what comes to the same point, to the formation of a certain amount of acid phosphates of soda, lime, and magnesia. The proportional amount of the liberated phosphoric acid varies...
Page 26 - It was at one time supposed that after the bile had performed this function that its compounds were thrown off from the system by the bowels. But that the bile is not merely an excrementitious fluid, intended to remove effete matter from the blood, but a secretion essential to the animal economy, was rendered almost certain by the experiments of Berzelius, Theyer, and Schlosser, which showed that the human...
