Elxactly which of the retained products brings about these results is not known. They are likely due to sev- eral, and it impresses on the mind the importance of those processes by which the constantly accumulating waste is elimi- nated. Uric acid when not removed from the blood and tissues is supposed to be the exciting cause of gout. An excess in the ) f5rm of urates retained or deposited in certain parts, especially ( the joints, is frequently at all events an accompaniment of this ) disease. Thk Expulsion or Urine. We now present in concise form certain facts on which to base opinions as to the nature of the processes by which the bladder is emptied. It will be borne in mind that the secretion of urine is con- stant, though of course very variable; that the urine is con- veyed in minute quantities by rhythmically contractile tubes (ureters) which open into the bladder obliquely ;• and that the bladder itself is highly muscular, the cells being arranged both circularly and obliquely, with a special acc
