212 CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMPARATIVE PATHOLOGY. 
17th . — She stands it out better than the male, but she must 
die. 
20th . — Very little change, and therefore not noticed, except 
that she is gradually sinking. I have tried again and again to 
cheat her, but she detects the medicine in a moment. 
21st . — She has been suddenly seized with a fit of vomiting and 
purging, and has discharged a great quantity of bilious matter. 
Give six grains of calomel. 
23d. — She, after along while, did lap the portion of milk con- 
taining the calomel, and has voided a great deal more bile. She 
is more lively and a little stronger, and laps her milk with greater 
appetite. After consultation with Mr. Bennett and Mr. Yarrell, 
it was determined to give the calomel a fair trial. Give three 
grains every night. 
2oth . — Could I believe that it would be permanent, I should 
say that she was better. She breathes more quietly, is stronger, 
and feeds and looks better. Continue the calomel. 
27th . — No change. Continue treatment. 
20tli . — The delusion is at an end. She heaves and staggers, 
and looks deplorably, and will scarcely touch her milk : she has 
not taken any thing else for a long while, although tempted in 
every possible way. Continue calomel, although she has been 
very sick to-day, and ejected much bilious matter. 
July IsL — The vomiting has stopped, but she voids much bile 
by stool. She is thinner and weaker. Add half a grain of opium 
to the calomel. She would not touch it. 
4 th . — Bleeds from the nose. Two or three ounces are lost 
in the course of the day. A slight mixture of purulent matter in 
the blood. Continue the calomel. 
5th. — Dead. No inflammation of the intestines, but one or two 
portions of the rectum spasmodically contracted. Chronic in- 
flammation of the liver ; it is friable, and there are a few tubercles 
in it; the gall-bladder distended. The heart was somewhat dilated 
and flabby ; the pericardium thickened and emphysematous. The 
lungs were one mass of disease. There were numerous tubercles 
in some parts, but they were small. The chief character of 
the lungs was that of universal hepatization, softening at differ- 
ent places, and forming vomicae of greater or less size. One of 
them must have contained a pint of fluid, of a thick brown colour, 
and that seemed like the substance of the lung broken down. 
Its parietes had a kind of honeycomb appearance, and the ves- 
sels of the lungs stretched across it, and interlaced each other in 
every direction. The very edges of the different lobes had the 
character of induration, and the body of each lobe was more or 
less hollowed out ; it was hardly conceivable how the animal
