show fluctuation, 

 at the same time 

 they are not 

 warmer or pain- 

 ful. Besides they 

 may retrogress as 

 rapidly as they 

 develop and recur 

 ag-ain after a cer- 

 tain time. 



The respira- 

 tion is quiet and 

 slower than nor- 

 mal, but even 

 after short exer- 

 cise it becomes 

 very much accel- 

 erated, calming 

 down only grad- 

 ually. Toward 

 the end of the dis- 

 ease a catarrh of 

 the air passages 

 or broncho-pneu- 

 monia may de- 

 velop. The heart 

 action is mostly 

 normal, only the 

 heart is more 

 easily excited, as 

 even after short 

 exercise accelera- 

 tion, and some- 

 times also an ar- 

 rhythmic pulse 

 may develop. 



The superfi- 

 cial lymph glands, 

 most frequently 

 the inguinal, 

 sometimes also 

 the submaxillary 

 glands, occasion- 

 ally become swol- 

 len, when they 

 feel soft, elastic 

 and painless or 

 only moderately 

 sensitive.
