RABIES \M) CONGESTION OF THE BRAIN.

10th . — 1 found that she had died in the night, and at ten 
o’clock on the next morning I examined her. There was a little 
froth at her nostrils. On cutting the off shoulder away I ex- 
amined the axillary plexus of nerves, and those going to form it 
and branching from it, but could not observe that inflammation 
or ecchymosis on them which I did in the other case ; nor was 
there scarcely any such appearance on the large nerves through- 
out the body. 
On laying open the thorax and abdomen, they appeared nearly 
in their natural state. There was a little discolouration about the 
external parts of the auricles; but on cutting into the cavities of 
the heart they were found to be natural. The vessels attached 
to the heart had not the least inflammation either internally or 
externally. 
The first stomach was three parts filled with food, commixed with 
water and sand. The second had a little soft food in it, almost 
liquid, and mixed with some sand, and both stomachs appeared 
to be in their natural state. The third was filled with food and 
some sand, and three parts of the food was soft and in a natural 
state, but the other part was harder, and a little inclined to con- 
stipation : the stomach shewed patches of inflammation, but 
not to’any great degree, where the food was hardened. The fourth 
stomach had but little in it except sand and some liquid, and it 
presented exactly the same appearance as the fourth stomach in 
the other calf. 
In some of the small intestines there was rather a considerable 
secretion of blackish mucus, and the membrane had a streaky 
appearance; and on some of the larger intestines there were 
distinct patches of inflammation on the inner coat, but in all the 
contents were nearly liquid. 
The liver looked any thing but natural, having a clayey colour, 
and on cutting into it exhibited short crooked yellow streaks. 
The gall-bladder was very full of dark yellow bile. 
The tracheaand lungs were next removed. The former looked 
very white externally, with the exception of a few spaces between 
its cartilages, and which were of a red colour. On cutting the 
trachea and bronchial tubes open they were found to be full of 
froth or spume, and were in a high state of inflammation. The 
lungs were in some places rather darker than usual. I then 
sawed open the nose and head, and 1 had the same excessive in- 
flammation about the nostrils, larynx, and pharynx, as in the 
other case. 
No vesicles under the tongue. Neither the brain nor it 
meninges inflamed, nor was the cervical portion of the spinal 
marrow.
