260 CIRCULATING FLUIDS : 



these 58 analyses, was 201, or 9 less than Lecanu's average for 

 healthy blood. 



I have made four analyses of the blood in pneumonia : 



The blood in analysis 19 was taken from a woman aged 40, 

 who died a few days after the venesection. Dissections exhi- 

 bited exudation, and tubercles in the lungs. 



The blood in analysis 20 was taken from a \agorous man 

 aged 30, who recovered; and in analysis 21, from a vigorous 

 man aged 40, who also recovered. 



The blood in analysis 22 was taken from a man 60 years of 

 age, who suffered from cough, thoracic oppression, &c., and 

 whose pulse was hard and full. I am ignorant of the result 

 in this case. 



The following are the maxima, minima, and average results, 

 obtained by Andral and Gavarret : 



The following table indicates the differences that are found 

 in pneumonic blood during repeated bleedings. It is drawn 

 up by Andral and Gavarret,^ aud corresponds generally with 

 the table already given for the blood taken in a similar 

 manner during bronchitis. It is, however, entirely at variance 

 \\'ith Lecanu's statement regarding the blood in carditis.
