GLANDERS AND FARCY.

diately rose again. Pulse 70, and weak. At noon he was in 
dreadful agony, continually licking his abdomen, and looking 
at his flank, while there was increased secretion of saliva. 
1 p.m. Respiration very laborious : he has just commenced 
purging violently ; frequently grinding his teeth, pawing, kick- 
ing, and rolling about, and the eyes drawn into their orbits. His 
countenance is distorted, plainly evincing the excruciating pain 
he is suffering. He continued precisely in this state, without 
the slightest remission of pain, until 12 o’clock, when he lay 
down, struggled violently, and died. 
At 5 p.m. I examined the interior of the body, 8cc. The 
villous coat of the stomach was highly inflamed, the centre of it 
bordering on gangrene. One bot was attached to the cuticular 
coat, which appeared to be recently dead, probably from the 
effects of the poison. 
Duodenum. — Mucous coat very much inflamed. 
Jejunum. — Inflamed and thickened. 
Ileum. — Mucous coat inflamed. 
Colon. — >Villous coat inflamed, gangrenous, and drawn into 
rugae as large as a man’s finger. 
Caecum. — Highly inflamed ; several red patches on the inner 
coat. Rectum unaltered. The mucous coats of all the intes- 
tines wete more or less cedematous; and where they were so, the 
muscular coat was separated from the villous with the greatest 
ease. 
Mesentery. — Greatly inflamed. 
Cortical part of the kidneys full of congested pus. 
Some parts of the oesophagus were redder than usual. 
The lungs and right side of the heart glutted with blood. 
Tongue swollen, and very black. 
Cranium. — Increased vascularity of the dura and pia mater. 
Lateral ventricles contained a quantity of non-congested blood. 
The plexus choroides redder than usual. 
To these may be added certain post-mortem appearances evi- 
dently produced by glanders. The lungs hepatized and tuber- 
culous. The Schneiderian membrane extensively ulcerated, and 
gangrenous. A great deal of matter in the frontal and maxil- 
lary sinuses. The submaxillary glands enlarged and indurated ; 
and an astonishing quantity of pus in the scrotum.
