BLOOD. 



2ni 



the fibrin is estimated at 3"0, the proportion of the corpuscles is 

 134, which is higher tlian in healthy blood. 



The quantity of the residue of the serum, and of solid con- 

 stituents generally, approximates closely to the normal standard. 



The inorganic constituents of the residue of the serum amount, 

 on an average, to 7-6~, which is very little lower than the corre- 

 sponding number in erysipelas or rheumatism. 



Reid Clanny states, however, that the quantity of salts is 

 materially diminished in typhoid blood. 



The following table contains the numerical results of Andral 

 and Gavarret's researches on the blood in typhoid fever. In 

 order to make the proportion of the corpuscles to the fibrin 

 more striking, I have given not merely the numbers obtained 

 from the analyses, but the relative numbers on the assumption 

 that the fibrin is constantly represented by 3. 



From these tAvo columns of the blood-corpuscles we see that 

 the decrease of the fibrin is almost always connected with the
