XXXII. *MICROSCOPICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF 



THE PATHOLOGICAL FLUIDS, BY DAVID GRUBY, M.D. No I. 



Translated from the Latin by S. J. Goodfellow, M.D., #c. 



THE translator undertook the translation of the following observations 

 last winter, as an occupation during a slight indisposition, and for the 

 purpose of being able the more easily to verify them by further exami- 

 nation, as soon as an opportunity should offer itself. This opportunity, 

 he regrets to say, has not been afforded to him ; and believing that the 

 subject merits further investigation, he has been induced, through the 

 kindness of the Editors of this Journal, to adopt this method of bringing 

 this little work to the notice of microscopical pathologists. 



The observations were made during day-light, by Plossel's micros- 

 cope, the diameter of the objects being increased 400 times. For 

 diluting the objects, distilled water was used, and for changing their 

 physical characters pure pharmaceutical re -agents. 



In the following work are contained : 



1. Observations concerning the morphology of mucus. Plate 7, figs. 



122 ; figs. 23 26. Plate 9, figs. 5153. 



2. Observations concerning the morphology of pus. Plate 10, figs, 27 



41 ; figs. 4250, 52, 5458 ; figs. 5964, 7277. 



3. Observations concerning plastic lymph and plastic exudation. 



Plate 10, figs. 6571. 



4. Observations concerning a white, pellucid, and fluid exudation. (Se- 



rum). Plate 10, figs. 78, 79, 81. 



5. Observations concerning ulcers and mesenteric glands of abdominal 



Typhus. Plate 10, figs. 7277. Of the spleen, fig. 62. 



6. Observations concerning lobular inflammation of the placenta. 



Plate 10, fig. 80. 



* Observationes Microscopicae ad Morphologiam Pathologicum, auctore Dr. Davide 

 Griiby. Morphologia Fluidorum Pathologicorum. Tomi primi pars prima. Acce- 

 dunt Tabellse septem et Tabulae litho sculptse quinque. Vindobonse apud Singer et 

 Goering, 1840. The Translator has thought it better to omit the short introductory 

 essay, in which the Author has given a cursory review of the various discoveries in 

 anatomy, by means of the simple and compound microscope, with a list of the names 

 and works of the principal anatomists who have had recourse to their aid in the pro- 

 secution of their anatomical researches ; because he feared that it would occupy too 

 much of the space allowed to him in this Journal, without a corresponding advan- 

 tage to the reader.
