Thewhole then resembles a jointed fungoid or confervoidgrowth, which ultimately breaks up ; and a Copiousdeposit of oval vesicles or spores, fall to the these stages of development (Fig. 58) require buta few hours for their completion. If the depositedspores be placed in a solution of sugar, they rapidlygerminate, and exciting fermentation, produce a newcrop of torulae. During the growth of the torulag,bubbles of carbonic acid gas are evolved, and the urine SACCHARINE URINE. 365.

I refer to the formof viscous108 fermentationwhich occurs in urine and ending in the appearance ofmuch ropy mucus. This has occurred to me repeatedlyin specimens of urine containing cystine, the odourevolved being, however, disagreeable and sulphureous,quite distinct from the vinous odour of the alcoholicfermentation. Somewhat similar phenomena are oc-casionally presented by the urine of persons exhaustedin health from scrofulous, or syphilitic cachexia. 350. The presence of sugar once suspected, may beeasily proved by analysis or the application of a moderate quantity of sugar exists, the urine maybe evaporated to an extract and digested in hot al
