two or three of these follicles sufficiently preserved in those in 
which the mucous follicles were not destroyed through more 
than half their thickness. As to their form, disposition, rounded 
and smooth edges, they represented, on a large scale, the dispo- 
sition of the numerous mucous follicles which exist in the 
mucous membrane, and especially on the glands, called those of 
Peyer. All these ulcerations were grouped in numbers of three 
to four, seven to eight, and ten to twelve. 
The mucous membrane of the large intestine, the caecum, and 
the floating portion of the colon, presented ulcerations similar 
in their form and situation, but fewer in number. 
Anasarca. 
Cases of anasarca have been frequent this year, on account 
of the great heat of the weather. Copious bleedings, employed 
at the commencement of the disease, had usually a decidedly 
good effect. 
Thrombus. 
Cases of thrombus, complicated with inflammation of the 
jugular vein, have been, as usually, frequent in our hospitals. 
All, without exception, have been cured in a time, longer 
or shorter, according to the intensity of the inflammation of 
the vein that was the seat of them. In some cases where the 
vein, considerably ulcerated at the place of puncture, suffered 
the blood to escape in large quantities at the least motion of 
the lower jaw, we have often had much trouble in obtaining the 
formation and consolidation of a clot in the superior part of the 
vein, a condition without which an obliteration of the vessel 
cannot take place. 
In order to arrive at this result we must have recourse to an 
application, round the neck, of an agglutinative bandage, com- 
posed of a mixture of pitch and turpentine. By the aid of this 
bandage we have been enabled to maintain, applied whole 
over the opening into the vein, some quills, rendered more re- 
sistant by the application of a layer of pitch on their exterior 
surface ; and in combining this powerful haemostatic measure 
with the application of a vesicatory along the course of the vein, 
and a perfect abstinence from solid food, we have been enabled 
to obtain the formation of a clot, and the development of the 
necessary inflammation for its organization. 
The application of a ligature on the ulcerated vein, which, at 
flrst sight, appears to be the most certain method of arresting 
the hemorrhage in the case of which we are speaking, ought to
