 different meanings attached to term, 

 394 ; its relation to ossification, 39o- 



396, 403 ; false notions respecting, 

 394-395 ; a compound process, the 

 fatty metamorphosis being the second 

 stage, and inflammation of the inter- 

 nal arterial coat, the first, 396 : to be 

 distinguished therefore from simple 

 fatty metamorphosis of internal coat, 



397, 404 ; inflammatory stage of, cor- 

 responds to endocarditis, only gene- 

 rally chronic, 397 ; concurrence of 

 simple fatty change with, 397 ; exter-
