CAFFREY OUTBREAK. 261 
At 10:00 p. m. she was lying on the left side with the 
head resting forward on the ground. The pulse was 54 and 
much weaker; temperature 99.9, respiration slightly irregu- 
lar and somewhat jerky. Theskin and underlying tissues 
over the body seemed very sensitive under pressure. This 
was especially noticable over the abdomen. The calf had 
evidently failed rapidly since 7:00 p.m. The head was jerk- 
ing spasmodically and unconsciously, the spasms affecting 
especially the cervical muscles. The pupils were dilated, 
muzzle dry and the neck seemed to be filling slightly at the 
throat. 
At 3:30 a. m. the calf was dead, lying flat on the side in 
a rather natural and easy position. There were noted slight 
rigor mortis, moderate tympanitis and somewhat blood 
stained feces. The animal had died as nearly as could be es- 
timated about 2a.m. The respiration had been slightly 
stertorous from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p. m., after which the 
animal was not seen until found dead. 
Autopsy 4.—There was considerable serum in the ab- 
dominal cavity and a small quantity in the pleural cavity. 
Both lungs were somewhat congested but showed no pe- 
techiz. The trachea contained an abundance of frothy ma- 
terial and the bronchi were moderately injected. The 
esophageal mucous membrane was normal. The diaphragm 
had few small petechiz on the pleural side. The liver show- 
ed afew small hemorrhages on the spigelian lobe. There 
were a few moderate hemorrhages on the heart surface and 
on the endocardium. The duodenum was in acondition very 
similar to that described in the postmortem record of death 
No. 6. It was involved in a gelatinous mass filled with yel- 
low serum about ten inches from the pyloris. The ileum was 
injected and the mucous coat showed areas of distinct inflam- 
mation. Therectal mucous membrane was very much in- 
flamed. Subcutaneous hemorrhages were present, but 
small and not well marked. None were noticed on the infer- 
ior cervical region or on the lower portion of the limbs. The 
plainest and most typical hemorrhages were on the liver, as 
already noted. Both the parietal peritoneum and parietal 
pleura showed very little that was abnormal. 
There was an old wound in the abdominal wall extend-
