An elegant mode of showing the compo-sition of the deposit, is to place a drop of the turbidurine in a watch-glass, and gently warm it; as soonas it has become clear, add a drop of almost any acid(the hydrochloric is perhaps the best), and as soon asit has become cold, examine it with the muddiness previously produced by the urate, willhave become replaced by
