ne pencil was
caught in the false teeth. Paget cites an instance of blue saliva due
to staining the tongue in the same manner. Most cases of anomalous
coloring of this kind can be subsequently traced to artificial
substances unconsciously introduced. Crocker mentions a woman who on
washing her hands constantly found that the water was stained blue, but
this was subsequently traced to the accidental introduction of an
orchid leaf. In another instance there was a woman whose linen was at
every change stained brown; this, however, was found to be due to a
hair-wash that she was in the habit of using.

Among the older writers who have mentioned abnormal modes of exit of
the urine is Baux, who mentions urine from the nipples; Paullini and
the Ephemerides describe instances of urination from the eyes.
Blancard, the Ephemerides, Sorbalt, and Vallisneri speak of urination
by the mouth. Arnold relates the history of a case of dysuria in which
urine was discharged from the nose, breasts, ears, and umbilicus; the
woman was twenty-seven years old, and the dysuria was caused by a
prolapsed uterus. There was an instance of anomalous discharge of urine
from the body reported in Philadelphia many years ago which led to
animated discussion. A case of dysuria in which the patient discharged
urine from the stomach was reported early in this century from Germany.
The patient could feel the accumulation of urine by burning pain in the
epigastrium. Suddenly the pain would move to the soles of the feet, she
would become nauseated, and large quantities of urine would soon be
vomited. There was reported the case of an hysterical female who had
convulsions and mania, alternating with anuria of a peculiar nature and
lasting seven days. There was not a drop of urine passed during this
time, but there were discharges through the mouth of alkaline waters
with a strong ammoniacal odor.

Senter reports in a young woman a singular case of ischuria which
continued for more than three years; during this time if her urine was
not drawn off with the catheter she frequently voided it by vomiting;
for the last twenty months she passed much gravel by the catheter; when
the use of the instrument was omitted or unsuccessfully applied the
vomitus contained gravel. Carlisle mentions a case in which there was
vomiting of a fluid containing urea and having the sensible properties
of urine. Curious to relate, a cure was effected after ligature of the
superior thy
