URINARY ORGANS
- Kidneys and Bladder.

The microscopical examination of the kidneys after death afforded evidence of a recent inflammatory process (granular opacity and fatty degeneration of the epithelial elements, recent cleaving of the nuclei of the interstitial tissue, particularly along the course of the vessels).

On the ninth day, though there was no increase in the sulphates, there was again a small amount of albumen, and the microscope showed pale cylinders, with more or less fatty degeneration. This condition persisted; the urine had, in addition, a very copious sediment of urate of ammonia; the amount of urine became more scanty, and during the last days of life the specific gravity was 1028. At this time all trace of chlorides disappeared from the urine, 104.
- Urine albuminous, with a brownish-red sediment containing hæmatin, but no blood-corpuscles, 97.
