Ouric oxide

Fourcroy examined gall stones and calculi. In 1800 Fourcroy and Vauquelin published an important memoir on the composition of urinary calculi, which somewhat extended the publications of Wollaston — which they do not mention — and of Pearson, who changed Scheele s name lithic acid into uric oxide or ouric oxide Fourcroy and Vauquelin called it adde urique. They analysed over 600 calculi and concluded that they are of twelve main species, consisting of the following substances, or mixtures of them uric acid, urate of ammonia, phosphate of lime, phosphate of magnesia and ammonia.
