 attendant : ^ 



Subject seemed perfectly well up to evening of the loth, at 

 which time its appetite was noticed to be poor. The following 

 morning he was a little more dull and the stool of a liquid san- 

 guinous material. 



Post-mortem examination showed the following conditions: 



Organs of the pleural cavity normal in appearance and con- 

 sistency. In the abdominal cavity the stomach, spleen and liver 

 were normal ; small intestines, caecum and a small portion of 

 the large intestines were normal to all appearances ; the remain- 

 ing portions of the intestinal tract presented a dark red color 

 and when opened were found to contain a large quantity of a 

 glassy sanguinous material. The mucous membrane was greatly 

 thickened and inflamed. 



The right kidney was normal in size and consistency, the left 

 was greatly atrophied, being about one-sixth its normal size. 



Conclusion : Death was due to an acute hemorrhagic enteritis.
