Excerpt from Chicago Medical Review, Vol. 6: August 1, 1882 Diabetes IN children. - If glycosuria be not infrequently met with in children under five years as a symptom of many affections, true diabetes, represented clini cally by polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and emaciation, is rare. West has never observed it. Prout never met with a sin gle case. Dr. Vignes, l'isle Sur le Sevin Yone, France, (journal de Medecine et de Chirurgie Pratique, July, reports the case of a child three years old who was well developed for her age, her parents apparently healthy, who suddenly devel oped a great appetite three weeks before coming under his observation. She also complained of great thirst, and became greatly emaciated. When Dr. Vignes saw her, her skin was markedly dry; her bowels were constipated, and She was suffering from polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and emaciation. Sugar was found in the urine, but albumen was not present. The dis ease ran a rapid course, and she died five weeks after the first symptoms.
