oedema of the subcutaneous coat, with dilatation of the 
ymphatic' vessels; and in some cases, vascular alterations. 
No atrophy of glands, or increased activity of these organs 
salivary, buccal, oesophageal or gastric, of Brunner). The 
glands of Lieberkuhn, in one third of the cases, were hyper- 
rophied in the duoedenum; but this condition, according to 
Vfartinotti, is always present. But it has no part with the 
oss of the glycolytic function of the pancreas, as the animal 
*emains gly cot uric. 
The liver is always altered, with fatty degeneration. 
The hepatic cells are altered, their protoplasm is reticulated, 
md in old cases, the atrophy is well marked. The kidneys are 
lormal, sometimes there are cortical lesions. The special 
swelling of the epithelium of the tubes of Henli, mentioned 
)y Armanni, and seen by Pirenti, were not observed by the 
iuthor. 
The central nervous system presents interesting altera- 
;ions. After from seven to twenty days, there are varying 
insystematical lesions of the pyramidal and of the origin of 
;he posterior roots. The alterations of the grey substance 
ire more marked, consisting in cellular atrophy, or degener- 
itions in the anterior and posterior corunas, with small 
lemorrhagic centers around the central canal ; and with 
.hat, in some cases, syromyelitis of the lumbar segments, and 
jliomatosis of the dorsal. The cceliac ganglion presents 
itrophic cells.— Rev. des. Sc. Med. 
POSITIVE INOCULATION OF TUBERCULOSIS WITH THE FCECAL 
MATTER OF PHTHISIC. 
By Solles. 
i st. Solles inoculated two guinea-pigs with the testicular 
uice and the sperm of a phthisical individual. In the first 
mimal, the inoculations made with the testicular juice gave 
Negative results ; in the second, inoculated with the sperm 
:aken from the vesicula seminalis of a phthisical man, he 
observed the following lesions : 
The center of inoculation had become enormous, and the
