Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ...so that it is impossible to say when it first became saccharine; no sooner was the sugar detected, however, than the nurse was ordered to collect daily all the urine voided during the twenty-four hours, and transmit it to the laboratory for quantitative analysis. The analyses were made by my former pupil, Dr. Pringle, and the following is a table of the results: --Quantity of urine. 1857. In cub. centira. July 18th.. 952 = 20th.. 1000 = 21st.. 2187 = 22nd.. 1875 = 25th.. 1955 = 28th.. 1000 = 31st. Not sufficient sugar for quantitative analysis. Aug. 3rd. No sugar. It will be seen that at first, after the receipt of the injury, the sugar went on steadily increasing, and then, as the patient recovered, it as gradually steadily diminished, until at length it entirely disappeared. This was prognosed when I first saw the case. For the condition of the man, as far as his diabetes was concerned, was exactly similar to the state of rabbits rendered artifi cially diabetic by puncture of the fourth ventricle, and we all know that at first the amount of sugar gradually augments until the injury in the cerebral substance begins to heal, and then the diabetes as gradually disappears. Some may say, we had no proof beyond the existence of saccharine urine that injury had occurred to, or in the neighbourhood of the fourth ventricle. This is very true, but I think the reasoning from analogy justifies the diagnosis. However, as some may be sceptical on this point, I shall now cite a case where the diagnosis may be said to have been verified by the post-mortem examination. On November 13, 1859, a man was brought to University College Hospital in a state of insensibility, with slow, stertorous respiration, a weak pulse, and contracted pupils. As the patient..
