This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1842. Excerpt: ... ON THE STATE OF THE BLOOD IN DIABETES MELLITUS. When the presence of saccharine matter in diabetic urine had been proved, attempts were made to find it in the blood. This research has been undertaken by a great number of very experienced chemists. Wollaston, Nicolas and Gueudeville, Vauquelin, MM. Henry the younger and Soubeiran, Kane, &c, have not been able to find any trace of it, and it is now generally believed, that it contains none. Dobson, however, asserts having found it. Rollo remarked that the serum of the blood of diabetic patients, when treated with nitric acid, gave a larger quantity of oxalic acid, than was furnished by the serum of the blood from healthy individuals. M. Ambrosiani announced in 1836, that he had obtained, from a pound of diabetic blood, one ounce of sweet syrup. Mr. Maitland, f almost at the same period, also found in the serum of the blood taken from a person afflicted with the same disease, some saccharine matter. In 1837, Mac Gregor confirmed the reality of this discovery, and was enabled to show its presence in the serum, by causing it to ferment, by the addition of yeast. More recently, Dr. Rees has arrived at the same result, though by different Journal de Chimie MSdicale, 2me serie, Tome IT. t London Medical Gazette, 1836. C means; and M. Bouchardatf has proved the same thing. The presence of saccharine matter in the blood of diabetic persons is now, therefore, an incontestable fact; but it remains to be known, whether it always exists, and whether its quantity is proportionate to that contained in urine. Dr. Christison has related a few cases, which rather tend to establish, that saccharine matter is not always present, and that its quantity, when it does exist, is not in proportion to the intensity of the disease.+ ...
