bacteria of sour milk), particularly by the fact that they have a 
certain symmetry of form and appearance and are devoid of 
motion. Otherways their behavior with re-agents is exactly the 
same as that of the above mentioned varieties, and they are no¬ 
ticeable for their great resistance to concentrated acids and alkalies. 
Before proceeding to the study of the changes produced in 
the blood by.the presence of these organisms, to enable our non¬ 
professional readers, for whom this paper is intended, to under¬ 
stand the nature of those changes, it will be necessary to explain 
here the structure of healthy blood.

BLEPHARO -BLENNORRHCE. 
The more mild form of the ophthalmic-blennorrhoe is the ble- 
pharo variety. It is to be so considered, as it is partly an antici¬ 
pating process of the severer form, and again as when confined to 
itself its ravages are far less disturbing to the eye and its embrac¬ 
ing appendages. The phenomena of blepharoblennorrhce present 
themselves in their severest grade in the course of twenty-four to 
twenty-six hours, according to the grade of action of the setiolo- 
gical momenta. The abnormal condition of the eye first presents 
itself as an excessive lachrymal secretion ; further the animal may 
be observed rubbing the disturbed organ on every convenient 
object, which is as a rule the first incentive which calls the obser¬ 
ver to investigate the questionable eye, and to add to the observa¬ 
tion of the consequent changes upon some. The observer must
