On the Physiology of the Lacteal System.

Abstract

This case seems conclusive upon the matter, for if Mr. Wood, entirely abstaining from all liquids, except such as were used in the formation of his boiled puddings, or were imbibed by them during cooking, voided a pint and a half of urine daily, it may be conceded that the urine of a person suffering from diabetes mellitus may much exceed the amount of liquids drank, when we consider the very large quantity of cooked food of all kinds he takes during the day.
