SANGUINEOUS APOPLEXY. 
quantity of the blood congested in the capillaries flows out from 
the diseased parts. 
The internal surface of the skin, the sub-cutaneous, and inter- 
muscular cellular tissue, the lymphatic ganglions, and the muscles 
are gorged and impregnated with black blood, which gives to all 
these parts a deep red hue, changing to more of vermilion on being 
exposed to the air. Beside this hyper-colouration of the diseased 
tissues, large clots of blood are found separating the skin from the 
tissues beneath it : in a word, all the lesions accompanying sangui- 
neous congestions followed by hemorrhage are found here. When 
the hemorrhage has declared itself simultaneously both externally 
and internally, which chiefly occurs in young and vigorous ani- 
mals, sometimes it is the lungs that are congested, at others the 
spleen which is gorged with blood ; at others, the vessels of the 
cellular tissue surrounding the loins are gorged with blood, and some- 
times the mesenteric glands are found very much distended or even 
ruptured : then, as in the exterior, clots of dark coloured blood are 
found between the parts. Sometimes it is the capillaries of the 
cerebro-spinal organs that become the seats of the congestion and 
hemorrhage. In fine, this sanguineous turgescence may prevail 
throughout one whole set of organs, without any alteration being 
apparent in the others. The blood can also spread itself in sheets 
over the surface of the intestinal and bronchial mucous membranes, 
in the pelvis of the kidney, the bladder, and the womb ; but it is 
when the disease is more advanced and has progressed rapidly 
that this phenomenon is observed. 
Examination made at the Death of the Animal when the Disease 
has gone through all its Phases and a subcutaneous Hemorrhage 
has taken place. — Here the surface of the body is of a livid hue. 
The skin of the diseased parts, although firm in substance, is of a 
bluish black hue on the outer surface, and of a deep red on the 
inner one; the sub-cutaneous superficial cellular tissue of those 
parts where hemorrhage has taken place, is infiltrated with a red- 
dish serosity, which gives to it the appearance of a trembling jelly. 
The superficial veins are strongly injected with black and often 
coagulated blood. Some bloody clots of a blackish red hue are 
found in the substance of the deep-seated cellular tissue, as well 
as in ihe flesh of the diseased parts : these, already softened and 
impregnated with the colouring matter of the blood, appear of a 
reddish violet colour; but this is almost entirely got rid of by wash- 
ing, and if .boiled, they lose all consistence, and are reduced to a 
kind of pap. This sanguineous effusion so closely resembles that 
arising from violent contusions, that an unpractised eye might 
easily mistake one for the other.
