Remarks

Unna publishes the results of a methodical examination of the urine of 124 patients with scabies, in the Hamburg Hospital, during their treatment. The treatment consists of the inunction of an ointment of styrax three times in thirty-six hours, the patient in the meanwhile remaining in bed wrapped in woollen blankets. The examination was made on the first and third mornings, and in nine of the cases a considerable quantity of albumen, which, however, rapidly disappeared, was discovered in the urine. This in Unna's opinion is to be accounted for by the absorption of the balsam into the circulation, and its consequent passage through the kidneys (119.) 115, June 12, '79.
