COMPARATIVE PATHOLOGY.

and, afterwards, some of the never-failing castor-oil mixture. 
Dose from one to two drachms. I saw her again in the evening, 
and she was as well as before the attack. 
21 st. — She is as well as if nothing had happened. Repeat 
the mixture. 
27tli . — She seems to rally, and has not been heard to cough 
during the last four-and-twenty hours. 
29 th. — Again she coughs. Give her half a grain of tartarized 
antimony, and — that having vomited her —half a grain daily of 
the hydriodate of potash. 
30 th. — Sore mouth. On examination, the gum at the front 
part of the lower jaw was found ulcerated away, and the sockets 
of the teeth exposed. Bathe with diluted tincture of myrrh. 
October 2d. — The swelling of the gums evidently lessened. 
5 th. — The healthy granulations increase, and she is lively and 
feeds well. 
9th. — Still improving. The cough is trifling. 
1 5th. — The cough is almost gone, but there is still soreness of 
the mouth. 
29 th. — The gums are again considerably ulcerated. Bathe 
them with tincture of myrrh. Make an ointment composed of 
one part of hydriodate of potash and seven of lard, and rub half 
a drachm of it daily and well into her chest. 
30th. — She is worse. Her mouth smells horribly. Apply a 
solution of the chloride of lime and the tincture of myrrh, once 
each, in the course of the day. Continue the iodine friction. 
November 2d. — The mouth is better, but the cough is trouble- 
some. Continue treatment. 
6th . — Very little change. 
1 6th. — She was unusually cold. Cover her warmly, and give 
more ginger. 
1 7th. — Between seven and eight o’clock in the evening she 
was found dead, closely covered up and cuddled to by the male. 
18///. — She was carefully examined. The whole of the intes- 
tinal canal was devoid of inflammation, and the only departure 
from health was almost perfect emptiness of the intestine. In 
both the liver and spleen there were numerous tubercles. The 
heart and its investing membrane were apparently healthy. The 
chief disease was in the lungs. The right lung presented a dark 
red and mottled appearance, and considerable irregularity of sur- 
face. The prominent parts yielded on pressure. 
On cutting into them, pulmonary cells were found, irregular, 
inflated, or filled with grumous blood, and a great part of them 
emphysematous, particularly round the edges. Every vestige of 
cellular structure was obliterated from the left lung; and the
