the organisms found were the result of a secondary infection ; and in m)- own case it is interesting 
to note that, during the period of secondary infection, tlie glandular swellings diminished greatl)' in 
size, to again enlarge when the organisms disappeared from the blond. In Dreschfeld's case the 
organism was found only in the kidney, and moreover, only after death, so that but little value can 
be attached to its presence. Kelsch and Vaii.lard claim no specific property for their 
organism. 
In conclusion, the organism of lymphadenoma, if organism there be, has yet to be isolated, 
and the method of Sn tmann would appear to afford the best means for its detection.
