This mild albuminuria is ordinarilymerely transient, and is only found after greatexcitement, just as it occurs, for example, afteran epileptic fit. Albuminuria, indeed, may beproduced by injury to the floor of the fourthventricle, and Coe even maintains that thealbuminuria of pregnancy is also only a neu-rosis of the kidneys.

The urinary sediment^ too, in the neuroses is in the Male. 21 sometimes very characteristic. Oxalate of limeis very often found, and indeed not infrequent-ly in large quantities. The oxalate of lime ap-pears in the form of colorless crystals, usuallythe quadrate octohedron and its combinationwith the prism, but not infrequently the diving-bell or hour-glass forms and spheroids of oxalateof lime are seen mixed with the octohedra of.

I attribute, therefore, muchless importance, in the formation of renal cal-culi, to the oxalate of lime than to the sharp-pointed uric acid. For years together in cases 22 Neuroses of the Genito- Urinary System of neurosis I have seen the heaviest sedimentof oxalate of lime without symptoms of begin-ning renal calculus appearing at the same time (Fig- !)• Another not uncommon urinary sediment, which appears only as a result of a neutral or faintly alkaline reaction of the urine, consists of amorphous or finely granular carbonate of lime
