1 I 2 THE HYDROPHOBIA. 



brain as if injected with blood, and minutely so to their utmost 

 extremities. When a section is made, a great quantity of black 

 blood escapes from the points in the medullary matter, and the 

 cineritious matter is in a strong contrast with the medullary, 

 being darker than usual. No intermediate lines to be observed. 

 Substance not particularly firm, rather soft ; about an ounce of 

 Jlmd in the ventricles. Choroid plexus of a purple colour. The 

 striated parts of the brain particularly distinct. Observe the 

 general state of congestion of the cerebellum. Dura mater par- 

 ticularly dark. 



INTESTINES. Intestines distended with flatulence : the con- 

 volutions near the pubis, natural ; towards the upper part, con- 

 siderable inflammation. The small intestines all forced towards 

 the left side. Omentum rather vascular. The colon much 

 distended on the right hypochondrium. 



STOMACH. Little points of extravasation in the inner sur- 

 face of the stomach. The cardiac orifice somewhat inflamed. 



NECK. Lymphatic glands, under the base of the jaw, par- 

 ticularly large and livid. Salivary glands, nothing particular. 

 Membrane of larynx very much inflamed, and perfectly black. 

 Membrane of pharynx also perfectly inflamed, and quite black. 



The above account was furnished by Mr. Charles Bell, of 

 Edinburgh.
