Besides other determinations, including those of urea, quantitative estimations of the amino-acid nitrogen in the urine, blood and liver were performed for the first time in such a case, so far as we can ascertain.

The results are of interest in two connections: (1) the pathologic metabolism of acute yellow atrophy, and (2) the rôle of the liver in the normal handling of nitrogenous products.
