Not illustrated. 1866 Excerpt: ...the day after admission. The casts were very numerous, very transparent, and loaded with free nuclei. There were also a great many very large compound granule-cells, more numerous than I ever before witnessed. Thwe were a few small very granular and oily casts. One of the most transparent of the casts, and which contained but few nuclei, had a very large compound granule-cell in its centre, the diameter of the cast being increased round its circumference. (Pl. IX, fig. 5.) There could be no hesitation in forming an unfavorable opinion on such microscopic appearances, yet experience teaches that even in these cases something may be done to arrest the headlong progress of renal degeneration. The first object to be effected in these cases is to reduce the hydrwmia; in other words, to lessen the watery state of the blood. Until that is accomplished, the reparative powers are inert, and ehalybeate medicines are of no avail. He was purged actively, and had the hot air and warm baths, with the best effect, and he was placed on a nutritous diet, so that within a week from admission he was able to take the tincture of the sesquichloride of iron. He took it in a form which is both agreeable and eflicacious, in combination with the liquor ammoniae acetatis and acetic acid. I have reason to think that this combination is more effective than when the sesquichloride is given with water only. The liquor ammonia acetatis must be first rendered acid before the tincture is added, otherwise the ammonio-chloride of iron is precipitated, which cannot be redissolved by the excess of acetic acid. The amount of urine passed in the twenty-four hours slightly increased, but there was no apparent diminution in the proportion of albumen present. Four days after taking this preparation...
