Post-mortem examination.—Skin: Presents many papules or slightly pink conical ele- 
vations, just raised enough to be felt by the finger; also black concretions like pin- 
heads and up to twice or thrice that size. It is, however, much cleaner than it was a 
week ago. 
Digestive organs: Mouth normal, likewise the pharynx, larynx, and adjacent lym- 
phatic glands. 
Stomach: Has its mucous membrane dark brown along the great curvature, but with- 
out any extravasation, ulcer, or recent lesion. 
Small intestines: Have a few spots of congestion, but these are very circumscribed. 
They contain twelve ascarides. 
Large intestine: With few and slight patches of congestion. No enlargement of 
Peyer’s patches, nor solitary glands; no erosions. The ceeum contains six whip- 
Worms, 
Lymphatic glands of the mesentery are mostly gray on the outside from pigmentary 
deposit, but normal in their interior. The pigmentation is evidently the result of a 
former blood extravasation, as is so constantly seen in the earlier stages of the disease. 
The blood coloring matter is being transformed into black pigment, as 2 concomitant 
of convalescence. 
Liver: Presents several hard yellow concretions as large as peas, also spots and 
patches of purple. Similar rounded yellow concretions are found in the mesocolon. 
hey are covered by a reticulated membrane, and are probably the remnant of some 
parasite. Gall-bladder very full (the pig had been killed fasting), bile green, glairy. 
Spleen and pancreas : Normal. 
Kidneys: One contains two hydatids; excepting marked pallor of the cortical sub- 
stance they are otherwise normal. 
Hydatids: Nine of these are found in different parts of the peritoneum. 
Heart: Right side normal; contains a small clot. 
Left ventricle: Has numerous patches of extravasation, of a deep claret color, sit- 
uated mostly on the carne columne and musculi papilaries. These have their seat in 
and beneath the serous lining, and barely extended into the muscular substance. The 
margin of the bicuspid valve is slightly thickened. 
Tangs: Have avery few red consolidated lobulettes; of the remainder many are only 
partially dilated, though they have nearly their normal color. 
Parasites: The terminal main bronechium of the right lung contains from thirty to 
forty worms (Strongylus clongatus). The lobules corresponding to this bronchium were 
slightly collapsed, but not consolidated nor congested. ‘ 
Lymphatic glands of chest almost unchanged. 
Brain: Healthy. 
, A microscopic section from a petechia on the heart showed, in addition to the blocked 
capillaries and blood extravasations, a fine example of the curious ovoid parasites 
long known as Rainey’s cysts.
