. A practical treatise on medical diagnosis for students and physicians . 3 quarts. Von Leube has successfully treatedcases of dropsy by exciting an increase in the flow of saliva. The reaction becomes acid in diabetes, gout, rheumatism, and mer-curial poisoning. Urea may be found in cases of nephritis, particularlyin ursemia, and the salivary glands undoubtedly have a decided excre-tory action in some cases of nephritis, acting vicariously in the place ofthe damaged kidney. There is no sugar in the saliva in diabetes. Fenwick has investigated the changes in potassium sulphocyanide indisease.

There is no sugar in the saliva in diabetes. Fenwick has investigated the changes in potassium sulphocyanide indisease. By a scale of colors he was enabled to compare the salivain which potassium sulphocyanide had been detected in health withthe saliva in various diseases. He believes that the amount of thisingredient is indicative of the degree of functional activity of the organsof nutrition. It is increased in acute inflammation and in the earlierstages of cancer and phthisis; in acute congestion of the liver, fromstimulants or food excess; and in rheumatism, gout, and in the conva-. Oidium albicans, the vegetable parasite of muguet or thrush. (Reduced from Ch. Robin.) lescence of typhoid fever. When the power of the nutritive organsis diminished, the potassium sulphocyanide is decreased, as in latephthisis and cancer, the later stages of chronic diarrhoea and dysentery,in chronic catarrhal jaundice, in ascites, and in passive congestion of theabdominal viscera. Fenwick believes that tedious recovery and frequentrelapses will occur if this element is found in excess in acute Buccalis. This genus of bacteria is seen in ribbon-likebundles composed of numerous segments; it is stained a bluish red by potas-sic iodide solution. It is most frequently seen in the tartar of the teeth. THE NASAL SECRETIONS. Physical Characters. The character of the secretions is of diagnosticsignificance. They may be liquid, semisolid, or solid. The liquid secre-tions may be serous, mucous, or pu
