UI2 EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



enclosed in fibrous walls three-eighths of an inch in thickness was one 

 ounce of thick, yellow, creamy pus. Two post-pharyngeal lymphatic 

 glands enlarged to size of small orange, hard and tense, and on section 

 found to contain infiltration of yellow caseous material, slightly cal- 

 careous. 



On opening the abdominal cavity but a small amount of fluid found 

 (one or two ounces). No foreign material or displacements observed. 

 Serous surface of second stomach reddened and slightly coated with 

 fibrinous exudate. On opening first stomach an abundance of moist, 

 yellowish-green food material, consisting of Avell-masticated hay and 

 grain, was found. Mucous membrane adherent and light in color. On 

 section of second stomach it was found to contain little or no food 

 material; the mucous membrane was moist, thickened and gelatinous, 

 due to an infiltration with bloody, fibrinous exudate. The third stomach 

 was full of ingesta, well distributed between the leaves and of normal 

 consistence. Mucous membrane throughout slightly thickened and red 

 in color. The fourth stomach somewhat distended, the serous covering 

 showing superficial blood vessels filled with dark blood. On section, 

 contents fluid and blood stained. The small intestines externally were 

 reddened and slightly ecchymotic. Mucous membrane injected with 

 dark blood, thickened and gelatinous. Intestinal contents fluid, having 

 the color of a mixture of chocolate and milk. The serous and mucous 

 surfaces of the lai'ge intestines were free from any lesions, the contents 

 moist and dark in color. Only a moderate amount of ingesta present. 



The liver, apparently normal in size, presented a smooth, glistening 

 surface with well-rounded borders. The consistence was normal. The 

 incised surfaces were moderately dark in color, with ducts free and 

 open. The gall bladder contained about two ounces of liquid bile, green 

 in color. Gall duct per-\aous. Spleen surface smooth and glistening, 

 fimi to the touch. On sectioning cut sui'faces reddish brown in color, 

 with stroma and pulp apparently nonnal. 



The kidneys were firm in consistence, with tlie capsule free and 

 detachable. The internal portion appeared normal, the medullary and 

 cortical parts distinct and unchanged. Ureters pervious. Bladder 

 empty and contracted. Membrane pale. 



The thoracic cavity contained a few ounces of serous fluid. Lungs 

 not adherent to chest wall. Lung surfaces smooth and moist, free 

 from fibrous exudate. On palpation several small hard areas were dis- 

 covered scattered throughout the lung substance. On section the tissiie 

 was found red in color, and contained considerable quantities of dark 

 blood. The bronchi and bronchial tubes contained small amounts of 

 frothy material. The hardened portions found on palpation were 

 found to consist of masses of caseous material enclosed in fibrous walls. 

 On cutting these tumor-like masses there was evidence of calcareous 

 infiltration. The bronchial and mediastinal lymphatic glands were
