MOBBID ANATOMY. 31 



places depressions, originating in the solitary follicles of the jejunum, 

 which were reddened and hyperaemical (PI. YII, fig. 2). In the small 

 bowels were many free exudations like polypus (PI. YIII, figs. 2 and 3), 

 all icith these dejyressions. Before the bauhinian valve of the caecum 

 were pulpy, macerated glands, of one and one-half inches, in length. 

 Large bowels contained thin fluid, light yellow and grey slime. Their 

 coats were softened, with red spots (injected vessels), especially where 

 the rectum begins. Mesenteric glands enlarged — externally grey, 

 internally dark grey — containing much fluid and yellow fatty exuda- 

 tions. Membranes of the brain and cerebellum strongly injected and 

 softened. 



(A 2.) MOEBID ANATOMY. 



On the dissection of the carcass, which is considerably dis- 

 tended with gases, a foul smell is experienced, which has a 

 peculiar odor, and which is more intensely disgusting as the 

 autopsy is extended into the abdominal cavity. It is highly 

 characteristic^ because if once experienced it cannot be mis- 

 taken for the exhalations consequent upon the examination 

 of animals dying from any other disease. The pathological 

 appearances which follow are principally those obtained by 

 Dr. Smart from dissections made at the Edinburgh Sana- 

 torium and at Tyne Castle, of over one hundred animals. 

 Wherever other authorities differ from Smart, we shall, under 

 each head, note the discrepant statements, as these clearly 

 reveal modifications of the disease as observed by Smart, 

 depending upon differences of nervous susceptibility of con- 

 stitution, perhaps of climatic influences ; different habits in 

 regard to food, diet ; previous or concurrent lesions of other 

 diseases, &c. 



I. Mouth, Pharyxx and Gullet. The gums, lips, hard and soft 

 palates, the under surface and root of the upper surface of the tongue, 

 the upper surface of the epiglottis, as also its membranous folds and 

 the pharynx, are marked, to a greater or less extent, by an aphthous 

 eruption (PI. I, fig. 1), which is not xdcerous, as the subjacent mem- 

 brane is entire.* The roughened and granulated aspect, as presented 

 to the eye, is readily scraped off and consists of accumulated epithe- 



* A like eruption equally characteristic of the disease is found at the external opening 

 (vulva) of the vagina. (PI. II, fig. 1.)
