It is of course impossible to derive any enlightenment as to the 

 initial changes in the vessels from the profoundly necrotic tissue of 

 the plague bubo, as the condition encountered represents the jfinal 

 product of a most destructive process. The kidneys form a much 

 more favorable material for the study of the initial changes in the 

 vessel in the thrombotic processes, because death occurs before such 

 profound alterations as are found, as a rule, in the original plague 

 bubo take place.
