Burnett niul C. D. Peiirce ( i)it. 2T0-2.Si!), who coiirlude that more or less anemia 

 is generally present in cases of slanders, tliat in serious cases tbe anemia may 

 I)e masked by a polycytliemia due to concentration of the blood by loss of 

 fluid from it. " Leucocytosis is present in active cases. The increase in 

 leucocytes is due to the polymorphonuclears. The other varieties are usually 

 not increased. The more severe the case, the greater the increase in the number 

 of polymorphonuclears. Absence or a very great decrease in the number of 

 eosinophiles is found in sevei'e, actively progressive cases."
