necrosis involving tlie whole or the greater part of a lobe. .Meningitis 

 existed in five eases — two due to the meningoccocus, one to the nienin- 

 goeocciis and pneumococcus together, while in two the organism was 

 not discovered. In all cases of more than one week duration more or 

 less extensive organization has occurred. Two men who lived about 

 five weeks died suddenly during apparent convalescence. The lungs 

 showed little evidence of active inflammation, but organization has 

 obliterated the greater part of the pulmonary tissue. These seem 

 analogous to those cases of nephritis in which the repair process 

 strangles the glomeruli and kills a patient who may have survived the 

 original toxemia.
