secondary abscesses. The pus produced by it is thick, and 

 creamy white in color. 



Pathogenesis. It frequently causes suppuration in the 

 serous membranes pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and 

 lungs. It has also on some occasions caused suppuration 

 in the viscera and in the subcutaneous and deep cellular 

 tissue. 



XIII. Bacillus Coli Communis. 

 XIV. Bacillus Typhosus. 



XV. Bacillus Tuberculosis. 



These three organisms are sometimes found associated with 

 pus-formation, and have been thought to be occasionally the 

 chief suppurative agents. The discussion of this subject, 

 however, will be properly taken up under the head of the 

 description of these bacilli.
