There are many other points, some theoretical and others of practical interest, to be learned from the study of this case, but their value becomes evident only when presented in detail. They are, for instance: 1. The reason for selecting the opening for the ureters at points three inches from the spine and one inch above the crest. 2. The method of keeping the urinal clean, how it should be applied, the cost, etc., as viewed by patient and physician. 3. The explanation of the psychological fact that the patient always feels the sensation of urination when he empties his urinal. Is it due to the fact that the position of the urinal permits him to empty same by simply unbuttoning his trousers as he did before the operation? 4. The fact that one kidney (the right) secretes phosphates continuously so as to incrust the urinal; the left does not. 5. The left kidney (infected) was cleared by treating the pelvis as one would the bladder in cystitis--by irrigation with boracic acid and instillation of argyrol. 6. The report on the functional activity of the kidneys, which have been frequently tested. 7. The X-ray plates of the ureters, pelvis of kidney, and also the urethra. BIBLIOGRAPHY Hagner, F. R.
