This man was in a hopeless state for months. He became
greatly emaciated and cachectic. Great serous effusion
beneath the arachnoid and in the ventricles, and a
general anæmic and œdematous state of the brain were
found after dath.
In the right corpus striatum a large cavity full of blood
and disintegrated brain substance was found. It ex-
tended into the right hemisphere. Its limits were not
clearly defined. He never exhibited any sign of para-
lysis, and his articulation was unimpaired. Tubercular
deposit existed in both lungs.
Great sub-arachnoid effusion. Piamater congested. On
the surface of the right posterior lobe of cerebrum a
small clot was found. The mucous membrane of the
small intestines was congested throughout its whole
length. Peyer's glands were also congested, but not
raised or ulcerated. No disease of the large intestines
was observed.
This man has been wrongly classified as " Paralysis of
the insane." He was probably an example of " Para-
lysis agitans" chiefly affecting the right side.
The brain throughout was of a pearly whiteness, very
anæmic and soft. No serous effusion was found.
The mucous membrane of the large intestines was dotted
with circular sloughing ulcers. No attempt at cicatri-
zation was observed. Liver congested.
This man had very frequent attacks of epilepsy, especi-
ally after the rains. On the morning of the 6th Decem-
ber he had two fits in rapid succession. In the convul-
sions of the latter one he died.
Post-mortem examination revealed great congestion of
the vessels of the pia mater and old inflammatory disease
of the dura mater. All the other organs were healthy.
Great sub-arachnoid effusion. Arachnoid itself was
thickened and opalescent.
Apex of right lung riddled by large tubercular vomicæ.
In left, large masses of suppurating tubercles were
found. There was a large goitre on admission. The
cranium was malformed, but in other respects there
was no deformity.
Low fever and dysentery were present previous to death.
Brain soft and œdematous. A few small vomicæ were
found in apex of left lung. The whole of the mesen-
teric glands were enlarged and filled with tubercular
deposit. The mucous membrane of colon and rectum
was marked with numerous ulcers of a dark sloughing
appearance.
This man had been twice-before an inmate of this asylum.
Diarrhœa due to worms reduced him in health a month
previous to death.
The amount of sub-arachnoid effusion was enormous.
Brain pallid. A few patches of congestion, but no
ulceration existed in the large intestines.
In March was attacked with pneumonia. From that
date until July, when he died, he remained in hospital.
After death both lungs were found studded with miliary
tubercles. The peritoneum, mesentery, and intestines
were matted together by tubercular inflammatory
deposit. In the external covering of spleen several
tubercular nodules were observed.
