some interesting experiments with re-
gard to h nephro-toxic action OF va
rious meats. BY simultaneous injec-
ton OF an aqueous extract of hashed
meat he has been able to produce al
buminuria in rabbits and guinea pigs.
The minimum dose necessary to cause
this condition is variable. even when
the same kind OF meat Is used to pre-
pare he extract. a fact which must be
attributed as much to a difference In
the renal resistance of various animals
as to variations In the toxicity of the
meat. Albuminuria appears very
