The inorganic constituents of the residue of the serum 

 amounted on an average to 7-55, which corresponds with the 

 proportion in typhoid fever. 



2. Febris continua. Andral and Gavarret made 21 analyses 

 of the blood of 11 persons suffering from continued fever. 

 They divide their analyses into two series, one containing the 

 results obtained when the blood was taken nearly at the ter- 

 mination of the disease; the other, when certain inflammatory 

 states, as for instance angina, bronchitis, erysipelas, &c. had 

 supervened. 



These researches exhibit less of the characters of hy^iinosis 

 than those instituted on the blood at the commencement of 

 continued fever, which, in the first series may be due to the 

 circumstance of the disease being on the decline ; and in the 

 second, to the inflammatory complication. 



In both series the fibrin exceeds the normal amount, and in 

 both, the amount of corpuscles is, in part, also below the 

 standard. 



The following analyses are taken from the first of these tables : 



The blood in the first of these cases was taken from a man 

 aged 58 years. The amount of the corpuscles, especially when 

 the age of the patient is considered, is very surprising
