In Icterus Catarrhalis the stools are usually clay colored,firm, and richly fatty. The fat is usually present in the formof tufts or sheaves of needle-like crystals, which, according to EXAMINATION 67 Osterleins researches, probably represent lime and magnesiumsalts of higher fatty acids. They remain unaltered even aftertwelve hours treatment with sulphuric, nitric, hydrochloric,and acetic acids. They also resist the action of ammonia,potassium, and sodium hydrate; in short, they differ verydecidedly from Charcot-Leyden crystals, which i
