The nine drachms of dilute sulphuric acid do not appear to heighten the acidity before food, though the diminution of the acidity after food is certainly less marked than when no acid was taken, and mixed diet was eaten. In the third part of this paper, on the Variations of the Sulphates in Health, I shall show that a similar mode of inquiry gave no posi- tive results as to their increase in the urine after sulphuric acid was taken ; but by examining all the urine passed in twenty-four hours, positive results were obtained. A similar course was therefore adopted regarding the acidity of the urine.
