Stewart concludes that the old-fashioned heat-test is the only reliable one for the recognition of serum-albumin in the urine, but that no dependence can be placed on a reaction occurring while the urine is cooling if an acid has been added to a ist in the precipitation of serum-albumin or to maintain phosphates in solution. This author also a erts that metaphosphoric acid is untrustworthy as a serum album in test, on account of reacting to traces of so called mucin in a manner indistinguishable from the serum-albumin reaction.
