successful the Hefa will show up as glistening red bodies of varying

By means of experimental endogenous infection with pathogenic 

 Hefce, Stock 1 produced numerous miliary nodules and small abscesses

Regarding the so-called Botryomyeosis, which has been observed 

 as an infective tumour on the vas deferens of animals, and which 

 can be conveyed to men, see the remarks in the chapter on 'the 

 Cornea.' Ten Siethoff's case (Weekblad, 1888, No. 12, Bd. i.) at first 

 clinically resembled a hordeolum, but there was a swelling of the 

 conjunctiva and the formation near the lid border of small yellow 

 deposits resembling actinomycosis granules. A slimy mass was dis- 

 charged from the hordeolum, in which Ten Siethoff reports that he 

 found the Boti-yococci. Many hold that these organisms are identical 

 with the Staphylococcus pyogenes aureus (literature, cf. Bargeton, 

 These cle Lyon, 1905). 



For Leprosy, Tuberculosis, Syphilis, cf. Chapter IX.
