Note 575 — ON REGIMEN IN ACUTE DISEASES. (continued 2)

I would beg leave to direct the attention of the medical reader to the observations of our author in this and many other places on the characters of the urine in fevers. That in febrile diseases the sediment is wanting previous to the crisis, and that at and after the crisis, when favorable, the sediment becomes remarkably copious, I believe to be certain facts; and yet I question if, with all our boasted improvements in urology, they be generally known and attended to. I have called attention in the Argument to the important rule of practice which our author founds on the state of the urine at the crisis.
