As soon as the patient has made use of this wine, his thirst is allayed almost instantaneously; his strength reappears; all his functions are gradually restored; his breathing, which the absence of feculents had rendered difficult, becomes easier; he is no longer put out of breath, nor does he feel any lassitude; he can now walk about without undergoing any fatigue; his look improves and his temper assumes a more pleasant character.... The Vin Urané (Uranated Wine) prepared by Mr. Pesqui, of Bordeaux, has been qualitatively analysed at the Barral chemistry laboratory. The result of this analysis points to this medicine being a compound of old Bordeaux wine, in accordance with Bouchardat’s prescriptions, to which the following elements have been added: azotate of uranium, pepsine, and other appropriate elements. The dose was given on the label as: Three small sherry-glassfuls per day, with or without water, 5 minutes before, or immediately after meals, and at night before bedtime. Analysis of the wine showed it to contain, in 100 parts by measure Alcohol 8·75 parts. Glycerine 3·55 ” Total solids 2·92 ” Fixed acid, reckoned as tartaric 0·43 part. Volatile acid, reckoned as acetic 0·21 ” Reducing sugar 0·28 ” Cane sugar doubtful trace. Ash 0·30 part. Uranium, equivalent to crystalline uranium nitrate 0·02 ” No digestive power whatever on egg-albumen could be detected, indicating the absence of unchanged pepsin. The amount of uranium found corresponds to one-twelfth of a grain of the nitrate in 1 fluid ounce, or half a grain in the daily dose, a sherry glass usually holding about 2 ounces. The cost of the preparation depends, of course, on the cost of the original wine, and is scarcely affected by the added ingredients. DILL’S DIABETIC MIXTURE.
