It consists of anordinary test-tube, to which a tightly-fitting cork is adapted, through which apiece of bent glass-tubing passes, as pre-sented in the sketch. The urine to be is mixed with a moderate quantity of ordi-nary yeast, or dry German yeast first mixed with a littlewater, and poured into the test-tube until it is com-pletely filled. The cork is then applied, and forced intoits place, taking particular care that no air is allowedto remain within the test-tube. As represented in thedrawing, one limb of the piece of bent tubing passesthrough the test-tube until it very nearly touches thebottom. The apparatus, thus arranged, is now to beimmersed in a vessel of tepid water, of a temperature. 28 DIABETES MELLITUS.
