This, however, is notnecessarily glucose, as other carbohydrates, such as lactose, maltose, andlevulose, may likewise undergo fermentation. Still, if large amountsof gas are obtained, and if Trommers test also yields a positive result,it will be fairly safe to regard the substance present as glucose. Fig. Tri Einhorns saccharimeter. Phenylhydrazin —As originally proposed by v. Jaksch,the test is conducted as follows : 6 to 8 of urine are treatedwith to gramme of phenylhydrazin hydrochlorate and 1gramme of sodium acetate, and warmed until the salts have beendissolved, a little water being added if necessary. The tube isplaced in boiling water for twenty to thirty minutes, and thentransferred to a beaker filled with cold water. If sugar is pres-ent in moderate amounts, a bright-yellow crystalline deposit willat once be thrown down and partly adhere to the sides of the even in the presence of mere traces a careful microscopical ex-amination will reveal the presence of crystals of phenylglucosazou(Plate XVI.). These are seen singly or arranged in bundles andsheaves composed of very delicate bright-yellow needles which areinsoluble in water. 1 v. Jaksch, Zeit. f. klin.
