smooth borders represented, in a great degree, the disposition of 
the numerous follicles which exist in the mucous membrane 
generally, and especially in the glands of Peyer. All these 
ulcerations were formed into groups, in number from three to 
four, or from seven to eight, and even from nine to twelve. 
The mucous membrane of the large intestines, the caecum, and 
the floating portion of the colon presented ulcerations similar 
in their form and disposition, but in a smaller number. 
Anasarca . — Cases of anasarca have been very frequent during 
this year, without doubt on account of the great heat of the 
summer. Considerable bleedings were employed at the com- 
mencement of the disease, and with good result. 
Some of these cases will be published. 
Thrombus . — The occurrence of thrombus, with complication 
of inflammation of the jugular vein, has been, as usual, frequent 
in our hospitals. All, without any exception, have been relieved 
in a greater or less period of time, according to the intensity of the 
inflammation, of which the vein was the seat. In some cases, 
where the vein was extensively ulcerated at the situation of the 
bleeding, permitting the blood to escape in a large stream at the 
least movement of the jaws, we have then had much trouble in 
obtaining the formation and the consolidation of a clot of blood 
in the superior part of the vein — a condition without which the 
obliteration could not be effected. 
In order to arrive at this result, we have had recourse to the 
application round the neck of an agglutinative bandage, formed 
of a mixture of pitch and turpentine. With the aid of this we 
have been enabled to maintain, firmly applied on the opening 
of the vein, pledgets rendered more firm by the application of 
a layer of pitch at their exterior surface ; and, by combining this 
very powerful hemostatic measure with the application of a 
blister on the course of the vein, and perfect abstinence from 
solid food, we have been enabled to obtain the formation of a 
clot of blood, and the development of the inflammation neces- 
sary for its organization. 
The application of a bandage over the ulcerated vein, which, 
at first sight, appeared to be a probable means of arresting the 
hemorrhage in the case of which we have just spoken, ought 
to be completely rejected. 
The ligature which secures the veins usually falls off before 
the clot of blood is sufficiently consolidated. The air may then 
be brought into contact with it, and soften it, and the hemor- 
rhage return more formidable than before. 
At the termination of an ulceration of the jugular, which
