Ure, Junior, as to the conversion of benzoic acid into hip- puric acid in the human body, and the more recent confirmation of the same by M. Garrod, from the London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine, for June, 1842. The reader will per- ceive that this fact strengthens materially the argument of the Author on the action of remedies.
