300 CIRCULATING FLUIDS: 



The residue of the serum contained 7'6'^, of inorganic matter 

 in the second analysis. 



In tlie first instance the bleeding was performed on the 3d 

 day; and in the second case on the 2d day of the eruption. 



Rubeola. {Morbilli.) 



Andral and Gavarret found that in the measles the fibrin 

 never exceeded^ nor did it ever fall much below Lecanu's aver- 

 age. In most cases the corpuscles were above the normal 

 standard. I quote the following analyses from their researches :

The residue of the serum contained on an average 8-4[5 of in- 

 organic constituents, which was one of the highest amounts 

 that occurred in the course of their researches. 



The patient in case 3 had also been bled on the first day of 

 the eruption : the second bleeding in case 4 was performed on 

 the second day after the disappearance of the eruption. 



The young woman from whom the blood in case 5 was taken, 

 presented so strongly the general appearances of antemia in 

 consequence of excessive menstruation, that the amount of cor- 

 puscles, 118-6, may be regarded as very high: the second ve- 

 nesection was performed after the disappearance of the eruption, 

 and when symptoms of tubercular phthisis were very apparent. 



Scarlatina. 



Andral and Gavarret have made four analyses of the blood 

 of three persons suflferiug from scarlatina. Two of these ana- 

 lyses decidedly indicate the character of hypinosis, although 

 not in a very marked degree. The two other cases present 

 difl'erences which will be presently explained :
