swollen, and they are finally indurated as caseation or calcifica- 

 tion ensues. The superficial inguinal glands often participate. 



Pharyngeal Tuberculosis . In this rather common localisation 

 the retro-pharyngeal glands and those on the side of the pharynx 

 especially suffer, though the parotidean lymphatic gland and the 

 sub-maxillary often participate. Enlargement and induration of 

 the tonsils and ulceration of the mucosa may be present. There is 

 distinct swelling of the throat or displacement downward of the 

 larynx, and the enlarged or hard nodular, perhaps even shrunken, 

 glands may often be detected by manipulation. The nose is car- 

 ried slightly protruded and a stertor or wheeze accompanies the 

 breathing. A glairy liquid may run from the mouth or nose, 

 and in this, bacilli may often be detected under the microscope. 

 The retro-pharyngeal glands are very subject to softening and 

 liquefaction, and in such a case an obscurely fluctuating swelling 

 may be detected above the pharynx when the hand is introduced 

 through the mouth. 



This usually terminates in generalized tuberculosis, though it 

 will often remain for a length of time the one appreciable locali- 

 zation. 



Cutaneous Tuberculosis. The counterpart of tuberculosis verru- 

 cosa of man, this probably usually occurs by direct inoculation in 

 a sore, yet the infection may reach the seat of lesion through the 

 blood. It is usually represented by an irregular clustering warty 

 growth, hanging more or less loosely from the skin and showing 

 at points caseating centres. Bacilli may be recognized under the 

 microscope. 



Glandular Tuberculosis. Aside from the tuberculosis of the in- 

 ternal lymph glands already referred to, tubercles may form in 

 any group of lymph glands, causing swelling, induration, fibroid 

 degeneration or tuberculous abscess. Among these may be 

 named the glands in front of the stifle or shoulder, at the root of 

 the ear, beneath the zigoma, in the jugular furrow, the prepec- 

 toral, axillary, inguinal, etc. 



Tuberculosis of the Brain and Meninges. Disorder of the cere- 

 bral functions occurring in generalized tuberculosis may be held 

 to point to this disease. The earlier meningeal symptoms are 

 often those of excitability, timidity, spasms, visual troubles, etc., 

 merging later into vertigo, hebetude, paresis, unsteady gait, local 

 paralysis and coma.
