They are so much more refractivethat the mistake is not a common one. Oxaluria is only a symptom pointing to a debilitated condition of thesystem, and of the cause of this condition little is known. Oxaluria is mostoften associated with conditions of nervous debility, perhaps especially oftenwith those cases of debility arising from sexual excesses. So the urines ofpatients suffering with true spermatorrhea are very apt to contain crystals ofcalcic oxalate. This is so frequently the case that one should always be onthe look out for spermatozoa, if, in examining the urine of a nervous patient,he finds calcic oxalate present.
