 infiltration in the kidney. On looking into the microscope, I 

 found a small artery between the tubules cut longitudinally. 

 The transverse nuclei of the muscular coat, being numerous, 

 looked like an "infiltration" to him. I became very sorry for 

 him after 4 or 5 days of his squirming and guessing at answers

There was black tragedy in these mentionings of Salmon. 

 They referred to Daniel Elmer Salmon, fifty-six, graduate of 

 Cornell's veterinary school and, since 1 879, first member, then 

 chief of U S's bureau of animal industry in the department 

 of agriculture. In the late 80's this was where Theobald Smith

The equipment of the school was meagre; but its available
