Diagnosis.—Heart disease having been found, the followingpoints are of value: 1. The small quantity of urine. 2. Its high specific gravity. 3. A small amount of albumen. The anatomical appearance of the kidneys is usually calledcyanotic induration; the kidneys are larger and tougher than natu-ral. On bisection, we find both substances dark red, the medullaryone being still the darker. Microscopically, we find often the same result in active Jiyper-cemia. At times the number of blood-corpuscles is increased, andepithelium present. This condition is always the result of toxicagents. The best known are cantharides and potassium noxious substances having been removed from the body, thenormal relations are re-established. The diagnosis of active hypersemia is based on the inconve-niently frequent desire to urinate, and from microscopic and chemi-cal examination. PLATE 36. Passive hyi3eremia of kidney.

(desquamative, acute, hemorrhagic, catarrhal, and croupousnephritis.) 1. Causes.—Those by wliich certain specific noxious substancesare introduced into tlie kidneys througb tbe blood, thereby creatingirritation and inflammation—e. g., scarlatina, diphtheria. But localdiseased condition of the skin, as erysipelas, carbuncle, phlegmon,may become the cause of acute inflammation of the kidneys. 2. Colds.—By a sudden cooling of the skin its capillaries arepowerfully contracted; the blood is thereby forced into the inte-rior of the body and the j)ressure in the inner organs increased. 3. Acute hsemorrhagic inflammation may, however, supervenein addition to existing chronic kidney diseases. Course of the Disease.—The large majority result in caused by colds are usu
