yn;p:Omatoiogy of Bright's Disease.

Syn: p:OmatOiogy of ISright's Disease
NJ. Dieulafoy lately called attention to certain
symptoms OF Bright's disease (parenchymatous
and mixed nephritis) of which too little notice
has he thinks been taken. The most impor-
fant OF them is frequency of micturition. a
symptom which, although frequently associated
with pOyuria, may exist independently of any
increase in the quantity of urine In some
cases the symptom Is very troublesome: the
bladder has to be eInptied twelve or fifteen
times night. and twenty to twenty-five times
IN each tWenty-iour hours, and this although
the total quantity Of urine may not amount to q
pint This symptom Dieulafoy proposes to
term po!lakuria, and it may be manifested
In three forms:
j. An early form may attend the commence
ment Vi the renal disease, of which it may be in
deed tne earliest manifestation and of con-
siderable diagnOstc significance.
= late form, which attends the chronic
stage of the disease which has commenced
aCCte!y.
3, 4 form in which the symptom is attended
with great pan and distress. and is accompanied
by teaesmus and spasm of the spincter ami,
lasting from three TO eight minutes.
Another symptom is irritation of the skin
nj. Dieuiafoy asserts that it is met with i'm
One-thiId OF the persons suffering from s.aIbr-
minOus nephritis. whether interstitial. par
enchymatOus. or mixed. and that ii is especially
frequent IN women. This symptom is also met
with In different forms. Sometimes it has the
character OF ordinary pruritus, and may be thus
tne Initial symptom Of Brights disease, proceed
Ing for months any other Inconvenience 1t has
Deen explained by Ursemia. and has been attri-
buted 20 an excretion of urea by the skin but
In one OF his cases the symptom was not pre-
sent. although O large amount of urea was ey-
creted 10y the skin. In other cases the itching
Is much slghter. AMI is described as resembling
the sensation produced by the contact Of a hair
with the skin.
The last symptom TO which attention was d.
rected is that which is described by patients as
the fingers going dead" 1t is a sensation of
1Ormication or craIap. accompanied by such
pallor that the part looks altogether exsan-
guine. Ii may last half an hour or So and then
disappear entirely. Rarely both hands are
affected. and when it is bilateral and partial the
area IS always symmetrical on the two sides
1t appears to be due to true vasomoter dis
turbance.-Ldncet

The new flowers introduced this season for
embroidery purposes are not only striking in
color hut complicated in form and the imitation
OF nature is carried in them to a wonderful de-
gree of perfection. The special feature of this
imitation is the rendering of what painter
would call the textures. In the Madeira vine
for example. with its long SILKY blossoms, the
leaves and stems are in arraseue. introducing
the greatest variety Of tints and the most care
