In 1904, nausea was reported as present in case 7, absent in cases 5 
and 8. Vomiting was noticed twice (Ma}^ 5) in case 2; case 5 vomited 
practicalh" everything taken; case 7 vomited throughout the attack, 
the vomit being greenish-yellow and containing blood (May 20), thought 
to be from nose; cases 10 and 11 vomited earh' in the attack. 
INTESTINES. 
Wilson and Chowning (1904a, p. 42) report the intestines as normal upon post- 
mortem, except slight hypostatic congestion in two cases, throughout their entire 
extent. 
The stomach and intestine were normal in case 91. In case 93 the stomach was 
congested (hypostatic?) over dorsal portion; intestine normal. In case 97 intestine 
was slightly discolored and distended by gas. In case 107 there was nothing 
abnormal except that the colon was distended by gas. In case 89 there was nothing 
abnormal except a slight conge.stion (probably hypostatic) in upper portion of the 
jejunum. In case 94 nothing abnormal except intestine distended with gas (Wilson 
and Chowning, 1903a, pp. 48, 51, 54, 56, 58). In case 120 the small intestine was 
empty and showed no inflamation or congestion except hypostatic (Anderson, 1903c, 
p. 33). 
None of the glands were enlarged in cases 89, 91, 93, 107; Peyer’s patches pale and 
not congested in case 120. 
The mesenteric vessels were congested in case 93. 
In case 11 (1901) the upper portion of the intestine appeared normal; 
solitaiy glands and Peyer's patches appeared somewhat swollen; cecum 
showed considerable injection, which continued more or less throughout 
the colon. 
Comparisons. — Smith and Kilborne (1893, p. 34) state regarding Texas fever that 
“The lesions of the intestines are limited to hypenemia and pigmentation. Begin- 
ning with the duodenum, there is found generally an abundance of bile and more or 
less injection and pigmentation of the villi appearing in the form of closely set points 
and fine lines. The remainder of the small intestine may show with the stomach 
more or less marked congestion, or there may be patches marked by the injection 
of minute vessels. In many of the cases examined the mucosa was pale and concealed 
by a thin layer of a grayish pasty consistency made up largely of desquamated epithe- 
lium. * * * In the large intestine we find more or less hypergemia and pigmenta- 
tion in longitudinal lines corresponding to the summits of the folds of the mucous 
membrane. This condition is more marked in the caecum and rectum than in the 
colon and seems to be associated with the constipated condition. Thus the caecum 
is in some cases distended with very hard, dry, fecal balls and some may be found in 
the rectum. In some cases no abnormal condition of the large bowel is discoverable. ’ ’ 
For hemoglobinuria of cattle Starcovici says that in the duodenum ecchymoses or 
small ulcers are constant; the mucosa of the small intestine is always much swollen 
and covered with a thick, yellowish jelly-like mass; the mucosa of the large intestine 
constantly shows ecchjmioses and swelling. In carceag the rectum contains hard 
or soft slimy masses of manure mixed with blood; the mucosa regularly has exten- 
sive hemorrhages along the folds, and the bases of the folds are covered with a 
crumbling or pulpy, dirty brown scab. 
In canine piroplasmosis there is a catarrhal inflammation of the small intestine, 
more intense about the duodenum; the lumen contains a viscid mucus often mixed 
with blood; the large intestines are slightly but not uniformly inflamed, and contain 
much viscid mucus (Hutcheon). Mucosa is infiltrated and congested on a level with 
the duodenum in a few cases.
