In urine which has become cold, these deposits arethrown down much more abundantly than in that which is freshly passed. TRIPLE Phosphates.—These are generally beautiful microscopic ob-jects, but their appearance varies greatly with the rapidity of their crystal-lization. Their color is produced by a combination of phosphoric acid withsoda, lime and magnesia; and they are derived in part from food and inpart from changes in albuminous substances—specially of the Crystals of triple phosphates. 9MgONH40 P05 + r2aq. In the form of triangularpn>ms, with obliquely truncated extremities, as they frequently occur in urine. Inmany cases the crystals are four-sided. Not unfrequently the shaft of the crystal ishort that the two triangular extremities arc seen quite close together, and the cryswithout care, might be mistaken for an octahedron. x 45.
