Since the sugar Is dissolved, there Is no way of telling merely by appearance whether sugar is or is not present In the urine. That can only be done by means of a chemical test, or by means of fermentation. As a rule, to be sure, patients having sugar In their urine pass a large amount of urine dally, and this causes the urine to be very pale In color, but the urine may be pale merely from drinking large quantities of water and yet contain no sugar 2 What is the cause of sugar in the urine V Sugar appear", in the urine in the dis ease known as ' diabetes mellltus. ' 3 What is the cause of a aedlmcnt in the urine (In appearance It is like the white of an egg") Thero are many different forms of uri nary sediment, and onlv a person trained In urine analyala can determine the na ture of tho sediment. In cold weather, a sediment often forms tecauso the urates are precipitated out of solution Such a sediment readily dissolves when the urine is warmed In hot weather, on the other hand, a sediment may form owing to alkaline decomposition of the urine In addition to these aedlments. there may bo a sediment due to pus. or to the shedding of epithelial cella of the genlto-urlnarv tract. A parson suf- j ferlng from any of the urinary conditions hern described ehould at once place him self under the care of a qualified physician. DABORS WRONGS.
