Her weight at no time decreased to such an extent as to cause anyone to suspect 

 the presence of tuberculosis. 



Of tlie calves dropped by her during this period, we have record of none responding to 

 the test. One of her calves. College Rosa Honheur, ,"^7013, born February 6, 1894, 

 responded to the test October 14. 18!t7. This woukl indicate a doubtless outside 

 infection. 



Having become lame in her stitle joints during the year 181)9, and having reached 

 the point where she was unable to rise after lying down, she was killed ana subjected 

 to post-mortem examination. Tubercles were found in the lung, mediastinal and bron- 

 chial glands, in the liver, spleen, portal glands, mesenteric glands and some lymphatic 

 glands of the abdomen. There were three or four scars an inch to two inches in diame- 

 ter on her liver, evidently the remains of former tuberculous abscesses. Some of the 

 tubercles were in an active state, as demonstrated by inoculation upon guinea pigs. 

 Others were apparently inactive, for when some of the material was introduced into 

 guinea pigs, they remained untouched by the disease. The stifle joints had corroded 

 to such an extent that tlie cartilagenous covering had completely disappeared from 

 large areas. There was present large amounts of serous exudate and the tissues were 

 edematous. Some of the serum was introduced into guinea pigs, but did not produce 

 tuberculosis in these animals.
