| Weber's t. |
1. (for differentiating between conduction deafness and sensorineural deafness) the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is placed on the vertex or midline of the forehead; if the sound is heard best in the affected ear, the deafness is probably of the conductive type; if heard best in the normal ear, it is probably of the sensorineural type. (F. E. Weber.) 2. (for indican) boil 30 mL of urine with an equal volume of hydrochloric acid containing a little nitric acid; cool it, and shake with ether; if indican is present, the ether will become red or violet and the froth will be blue. (E. H. Weber.) 3. (for blood) mix the sample with 30 per cent acetic acid and extract with ether; to the ether extract add an alcoholic solution of guaiac and hydrogen peroxide. A blue color indicates blood. (E. H. Weber.)
