This pathological syndrome evidently is due to an involvement 

 of the pneumogastric. It is interesting as another proof of the 

 important part which the nervous system plays in this disease,

and in associating it still more closely with other so-called "de- 

 ficiency diseases" such as beriberi and pellagra, in which the 

 disturbances of the nervous system seem to be primary in nature.

On the question of the transformation of fibrin into fibrous tissue 

 in tissue culture preparations. 



By R. A. Lambert, M.D. 



[From the Pathological Laboratory of the Presbyterian Hospital, 



New York.] 



During the past year there appeared a paper by Baitsell 1 

 working in Professor Harrison's laboratory at Yale University 

 describing changes in the fibrin clot of tissue culture preparations, 

 which he interpreted as a transformation of the fibrin meshwork 

 into fibrous tissue. Extending his observation to the living animal 

 this author has described 2 in the healing wounds of frogs similar 

 changes in the fibrin which early fills the wound and concludes 

 that instead of forming a temporary scaffolding to be removed
