Congestion of the Lungs. 



This is the stage which precedes true inflammation. 

 When in this condition the lung is heavy, reddish-brown, 

 and exudes a frothy reddish serum on pressure. It breaks 

 down more readily than a healthy lung. The capillaries 

 are dilated and tortuous, owing to distension with blood, 

 and minute haemorrhages may be present. There is only 

 one marked sign of this aff'ection, and that is accentuation 

 of the second sound over the pulmonary artery.
