Page 563 - If the whole bulk of the urine be to the urate of ammonia formed not less than about 2700 to 1, the secretion will, at the ordinary temperature of the air, remain clear, but if the bulk of fluid be less, an amorphous deposit of the urate will occur. On the other hand, if an excess of uric acid be separated by the kidneys, it will act on the phosphate of soda of the double salt, and hence, on cooling, the urine will deposit a crystalline sediment of uric acid sand, very probably mixed with amorphous...

Page 572 - The cautious physician, who will go gradually to work, gives the ordinary remedy only in such a dose as will scarcely perceptibly develop the artificial disease, and gradually increases the dose, so that he may be sure that the intended internal changes in the organism are produced with sufficient force, although with phenomena vastly inferior in intensity to the symptoms of the natural disease; thus a mild and certain cure will be effected.
Page 631 - Biology has come into common use, it seems desirable to employ the same root in designating the matter which it is the main purpose of biology to investigate. Bioplasm involves no theory as regards the nature or the origin of the matter. It simply distinguishes it as living. A living white bloodcorpuscle is a mass of bioplasm, or it might be termed a bioplast. A very minute living particle is a bioplast, and we may speak of living matter as bioplasmic substance.
