sulphonic acid

The recent spate of acid attacks on women is only the latest manifestation of this dangerous trend.

There are a number of bacilli, called acid-fast bacilli, which stain in the same way as the tubercle bacillus.

The amount of the other purin bodies together is about one-tenth that of uric acid.

Uric acid is decreased before an attack of gout and increased afterward, but its etiologic relation is still uncertain.

An increase is also noted in the uric-acid diathesis and in diseases accompanied by respiratory insufficiency.

Indol is absorbed and oxidized into indoxyl, which combines with potassium and sulphuric acid and is thus excreted.
