Acute suppurative nephritis is not a common disease, but it is a very serious and a very fatal one. In one case it supervened upon VOL. IV. chronic disease of the kidney, in consequence of the intemperate use of fermented liquors by a man whose general health was much dis- ordered, and who had been subject for several months to successive crops of boils and car- buncles about the neck and shoulders. He died in about a week after symptoms of sup- purative nephritis had manifested themselves. The nature of the disease was detected at the very commencement by a microscopical exa- mination of the urine (jig. 167).

This case occurred in King's Col- lege Hospital, under the care of Dr. Todd. Acute desquamative nephritis.—This form of disease occurs very frequently as a conse- quence of scarlatina, and is occasionally pro- duced by other animal poisons, as for instance that of typhus fever, small-pox, or measles.
