Note the simultaneousincrease in urine volume and both absolute and per cent, of NaCl excretionafter absorption of oedema began, with return of greatly delayed potassiumiodide excretion to normal. The curve on the upper portion of the chartgives the specific gravity, and on the lower the NaCl concentration inpercentages. THE BEARING OF FUNCTIONAL TESTS ON TREATMENT. 2 1 with a normal total and percentage salt output. Schlayer believesthat the iodide excretion suffers earlier than the sodium chloride. With the restoration of kidney function and the absorption ofoedema, we have observed the return to normal of greatly delayedpotassium iodide excretion. A most striking example of this wasa patient with so-called chronic parenchymatous nephritis, who hadhad some swelling for eighteen months and marked oedema fortwo months. Her general anasarca was uninfluenced by salt-poordiet for five weeks. The salt outputs were below two grams a day,often
