    The additional conclusions which it would seem justifiable to draw from these investiga¬ tions are: 1. Although urotropin may, in very rare cases, cause uncomfortable symptoms it does not in¬ validate the use of the drug. 2. Urotropin is of less value in cases where an active inflammation of the bladder has occurred. 3. But, as far as this series of observations goes, the moderate use of urotropin throughout the disease prevents cystitis. 4. Finally, the routine administration of the drug in all cases of t3^phoid fever would seem to be strongly indicated, for by such a course of treatment bladder complications are avoided, the urine made inocuous to those brought in contact with the patient, and it is possible to discharge patients who have been sick with typhoid fever in full belief, that, as far as the urine is concerned, they will be harmless to the community.
