firm and consistent. The fibrin and fat are always more 

 less increased, and the hsematoglobulin diminished. 



or 



In analysis 17 we observe, in a decided degree, the character 

 of inflammatory blood, as far as regards the large quantities of 

 fibrin and fat. The quantity of hsematoglobulin, 79-73, is not 

 so much diminished in proportion to the albumen in this case, 

 as in those of phlebitis uterina. 



The patient was a robust man, of about thirty years of age, 

 who had only been sufli'ering from the disease three days; pulse 

 hard and very frequent. The blood of analj^sis 18 was taken 

 from a child three years of age, by leeches, which is the reason 

 why the fibrin was not determined. 



Andral and Gavarret^ have analysed the blood in six cases 

 of bronchitis, and in all the instances in which fever was present, 

 they found that well-marked character of inflamed blood, an 

 increased quantity of fibrin. The maximum was 9*3, the mi- 

 nimum 5-7, in 1000 parts of blood. 



I shall now give the results of their analyses.
