This man continued under my observa-tion for several weeks, and the urine invariably exhibited the same objectsunder the microscope. I was not able to satisfy myself as to the cause ofthese peculiar appearances. I suspected the existence either of a hydatidcyst opening into the pelvis of the kidney, or commencing general cysticdegeneration of the organ ; but I could not discover any echinococci hook-lets in the urine, nor any physical signs of renal Fig. 28. Cholesterine crystals and fatty aggregations and molecules spontaneouslydeposited in the urine in the case of T. M. When I last saw this man, on Jan. 3rd, 1872, very marked improve-ment had taken place under the use of the Liq. ferr. pernit. The blood inthe urine had, for six weeks, been reduced to a trace, but there still existedin the deposit numerous crystals of cholesterine, and abundance of thefatty and granular particles. The only case hitherto recorded at all comparable with the KIESTEINE. 127 above, so far as I know, is one described by Dr. patient was a man of fifty-four, who, for fourteen years,had passed large quantities of pus with the urine. When hecame under observation, three days before his death, the urinewas very purulent, and contained large numbers of cholesterinecrystals. At the autopsy the right ureter was found blocked up,but not entirely, by a calculus. The
