Mr. G. Gulliver's Researches on Suppuratio7i. Sect. I. 195 



Blood from the heart, as well as from the vena cava was 

 examined, and found to contain several pus globules. 



Exp. 5. Four ounces and five drams of pus were injected 

 into the peritoneum of a dog, and the wound carefully closed ; 

 he died thirty-seven hours after the injury. 



There were only nine drams of a sero-sanguinolent fluid 

 found in the peritoneum, and a considerable quantity of co- 

 agulated lymph on the membrane. 



Pus was detected in the blood. 



Exp. 6. Half a dram of pus, mixed with half an ounce of 

 water, was gradually injected into the crural vein of a dog. 



Some fever followed, and he refused solid food for two days, 

 but recovered at the end of a week. 



The same quantity of pus was soon afterwards injected into 

 the other crural vein, when similar symptoms were produced, 

 and he perfectly recovered in a few days. 



Exp. 7. Six drams of pus having been injected into the 

 crural vein of another dog, he was not much affected at first, 

 but in a few hours became very weak, was stupid, thirsty, 

 and refused his food. After thirty hours he took but little 

 notice of surrounding objects, his respiration was hurried, and 

 he died thirty-six hours after the operation. In the blood of 

 the inferior cava some pus globules were readily detected. 



Case 1. A girl died of confluent small pox on the ninth 

 day of the disease. There was great swelling of the integu- 

 ments. 



In the blood of the right ventricle numerous pus-globules 

 were found. 



Case 2. A woman had confluent small pox, uncomplicated 

 with erysipelas or inflammation of the viscera. 



On the eighth day of the disease some blood was drawn 

 from a vein in the arm : several pus-globules were found in 

 this blood. 



Case 3. A male child, ast. 15 months, died on the ninth 

 day of small-pox. Only a few pustules appeared, and these 

 were imperfectly developed : there was considerable swelling 

 in the face, slighter in other parts. 



At the post-mortem examination, it was observed that a 

 small quantity of a white opake fluid might be squeezed from 

 the cut surfaces of the lymphatic glands of the ne<3k and groin : 

 this fluid had the microscopic and chemical chars* ,>*rs of pus. 



In some blood obtained from the right ventrucl^^i and from 

 the inferior cava vein, pus was detected.
