One ni-ht when I was very busy work ,

What we need is not to be made Im

SUGAR AND SEOIMENT IN URINE.
1 What Is the appearance of sugar In
the urine?
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.
