PHAGOCYTE 



of the small intestine, consisting of large, oval groups 

 of closely aggregated lymph-follicles, bound together 

 by adenoid tissue. The patches vary in size and 

 number ; they are usually limited to the lower two- 

 thirds of the small intestine, reaching their highest 

 development in the ileum, where they may attain a 

 length of O-I I cm. each; between twenty and thirty 

 patches generally are present ; they are relatively better 

 developed in young than in old subjects. (Piersol.)

 Aden Ulcer; Malabar Ulcer; a formidable skin-affec- 

 tion of the tropics, attacking chiefly those who live 

 under depressing influences. It is probably due to a 

 microbe that produces a vesicle or bulla that rap- 

 idly assumes a sloughing or gangrenous nature. It 

 quickly invades the neighboring tissues, destroying the 

 soft parts and even the bones. The ulcers generally 

 begin on the feet, ankles, or legs, but the thighs or 

 arms may be attacked. Finally, an indurated atonic 

 ulcer is left which, after a variable period of weeks or 

 months, gradually cicatrizes. Death is frequent from 

 exhaustion.
