XXIX. On the elimination of urea and urinary water, in relation to the period of the day, season, exertion, food, prison discipline, weight of body, and other influences acting in the cycle of the year

Abstract

I purpose in the following communication to state the results of two series of experiments in reference to urea and urinary water in the healthy human system, with a view chiefly to show their relation to exertion, food, nutrition, period of the day, and season of the year, and to enable me to contrast these relations with those of carbonic acid, which I had the honour to lay before the Royal Society in 1859, and which have been published in the Philosophical Transactions.
