out in short rows into the tissue between the neighbouring alveoh*. 

 These lymphoid deposits were not nearly so evident in this as in the two 

 other specimens. 



The Thymus Gland. — The condition of this gland appeared to be 

 that of a true hypertrophy. Examined microscopically, the tissue looked 

 like normal thymus with this exception, that the differentiation between 

 the cortex and medulla was not quite so sharply defined. The lymphoid 

 cells, the concentric bodies of Hassall, and the connective tissue frame-

work were present in natural proportions. There was a complete absence 

 of the eosinophile cells recorded by certain observers in this disease. 



The Central Nervous System. — Sections were made at different levels 

 of the upper cervical cord, the medulla, and the pons, and were stained 

 by various methods. The parts seemed to be quite healthy. 



The Cervical Sympathetic System. — Sections were made of the 

 cervical sympathetic ganglia of both sides, but all presented a normal 

 appearance.
