"The collections of disinte-
grated or broken down vesical or
renal calcuIi which form the sub
iect of the following analysis and
researches, were sent me by DIR.
Edward Chambers Laird, resident
pbvsician Buffalo Lithia Springs,
Virginia, u. s. A. They were
discharged by different patients
after the use of the mineral water
of Buffalo Lithia Spring No. for
a variable time.
81 advise here from the expert
ence of DIR. Laird the use of this
mineral water, which has had
with him a happy influence on
the disintegration of the calcul'
and their elimination. 1t is to de-
monstrate this that he has re-
auested me to make this analysis.
"The collections of the disir-
tegrated calcuIi submitted to my
examination were eight in num-
Der. A fragment Of each collec-
ton has been reproduced by pho
tographs, which are designated by
the same letters of the alphabet
as the analysis here following"
Specimen OF Calculi IA" magnihed 13 diam.)
These disintegratcd renal calcu-
Ii are very numerous, and present
themselves in the forms OF grains OF VA
RIOUs SIZES (FROM THAT OF THE SIZE
OF A PIN TO THAT OF A PEA OF red
dish yellow color, very hard, and nu-
cleus in the centre. They are thus
COMPOSED: Urate of ammonia-for
the greater part; free uric acid
small quantity; carbonate OF Ammo
MIA and magnesia-smallq quantity.

This disintegratcd yesicai CAL
culIrs presents itself in the form Of
many fragments of granular as

ARE EASILY BROKEN, AND THE CON
TEXTURE OF THE FRAGMENTS SHOW
THAT THEY ARE POROUS THROUGH

of ammonia-for the greater part;
Carbonate Of ammonia and magne-
sia-in small quantity.

Chemical composition Phosphate
of ammonia and magnesia--for the
greater part; carbonate OF lime
small quantity; Oxalate OF lime very
small quantity.

VesicaI calculus thoroughly
disintegrated, fragments many,

greater part (fusible directly to the
blow pipe): oxalate of lime-small
quantity; carbonate of ammonia and

concentric layers. Chemical compo-
