Bilious Fev/T.—Babha, in a case of flfevre bilieuse typhoide, found 

 masses of streptococci filling the vessels of the liver, kidney, and spleen. 

 This was probably another instance of secondary infection with Strepto- 

 coccus pyogenes. 



Measles. — From the blood and inflammatory post-products in measles, 

 Babes isolated a streptococcus, which he describes as closely resembling 

 the Streptococcus pyogenes. 



Ulcerative Endocarditis. — -Wyssokowitsch found cocci in the internal 

 organs in ulcerative endocarditis, and produced the disease in animals, 

 after injury to the valves, by injection of Streptococcus pyogenes and 

 other organisms. Weichselbaum, by microscopical research and by 

 cultivation experiments, proved the presence of Streptococcns-pyogenes 

 in acute verrucous endocarditis. Baumgarten confirmed this. He found

Streptococcus pyogenes alone in one case and accompanied by Staphylo- 

 coccus aureus in another. 



Bronclw-pneumonia. — Thaon found a streptococcus in the lungs of 

 children in fatal cases of broncho-pneumonia, complicating measles, 

 diphtheria, and whooping cough. It was regarded as identical with the 

 streptococcus isolated by Lbffler from diphtheria. Frankel discovered 

 a streptococcus in the lungs of a case of true croup complicated with 

 broncho-pneumonia, and by cultivation established its identity with 

 Streptococcus pyogenes. 



Anthrax. — Charrin found cocci in rabbits, examined some hours after 

 death from anthrax. These, when isolated, produced death in rabbits 

 from septicaemia, without suppuration. Chains composed of from fifteen 

 to twenty elements were found in all the organs. This was probably 

 another instance of Streptococcus pyogenes. 



Syphilis. — Kassowitz and Hochsinger found the presence of a strepto-
