This, however, is a very rareoccurrence. In one case of tabes and paralysis 24 Neuroses of the Genito- Urinary System of the bladder I have had the opportunity fora long time of observing the blue sediment ofprecipitated indigo ; this glaucuria suddenly dis-appeared. The same patient suffered also withtemporary glycosuria with two per cent, ofsugar, without simultaneous polyuria or otherdiabetic symptoms. If at the same time urates,especially urate of ammonia, are present in the.

The Neuroses of the Urinary and Sex-ual Organs may be divided into three well-recognized groups, according as they affect — in the Male. 25 1. Sensation. 2. Motion. 3. Secretion.
