REMARKS.
16—Both lungs were found filled with tubercles in different stages of development and decay. The mesenteric glands were enlarged. The brain
was indurated, and only weighed 1lb 11 oz.
67—This poor woman made a gash across her throat while in an unsound state of mind. She had bronchitis on admission. She died suddenly.
After death the tissues and veins of the brain were found gorged with blood. Both lungs were engorged with blood, and the left was ædematous.
39—Had an ulcer on his right gluteal region for 4½ years. All attempts to heal it failed, owing to his daubing it over with mud. Restraint was
tried, but unsucessfully. On the 20th October lockjaw appeared, and on the 27th he died. Chloral in large and frequent doses was given without
benefit. The internal organs were all found healthy.
240—Was admitted into hospital the day of his arrival with diarrhœa. He passed about 70 lumbrici within the first week or two. He
died of exhaustion.
In mucous membrane of large intestines there was a large deposit of black pigment, with patches of congestion and punctiform ulceration. The
glands were here and there enlarged, the size of a small-pea. The left lung at base was in the stage of red hepatization.
242—Was almost the whole of his residence in hospital. On the 6th November a severe attack of bilious diarrhœa occurred, which threw him
into a collapsed state resembling that of cholera, from which he did not recover. In ilium several of Peyer's glands were raised, tumid; with red edges
and a pitted surface. The mucous membrane of large intestines was congested throughout.
56—Was attacked with cholera at daybreak on the 13th November, and died after six hours. An enlarged spleen, and large decolorised clots in
right ventricle, were found after death.
183—Was taken ill with cholera at 3 P.M. on the 14th November, and died at 3-30 A.M. on the 16th.
46—Was ill for several months with intractable dysentery. A large fatty liver was found. Patches of congestion and extravasation, but no
ulcers, were observed in the large intestines.
29—This old man, 66 years of age, was attacked with cholera on the 15th November. Collapse was not profound, but no reaction occurred. He
died during the night of the 16th.
168—Was attacked with cholera on the 16th November, and died suddenly at 9 A.M. on the 18th.
273—Was attacked with cholera on the morning of the 17th November, and died of suppression of urine at 12-30 P.M. on the 20th. Uniform
congestion of the ilium with swollen Peyer's patches were found,
265—Was attacked with cholera on the morning of the 13th November. He recovered, and was progressing favorably, when an attack of
pleuropneumonia supervened, of which he died at 7 P.M. on the 21st. The right lung was chiefly affected, and patches of hepatized pulmonary tissue
were observed. The left lung was in a congestive stage.
259—Was attacked with cholera at 3 P.M. on the 27th November, and died at 3 A.M. on the 28th,
290—Was sent to hospital on arrival. His temperature in the afternoon of the first day was 105° 1'. This was due to an attack of ague. On
the 26th November acute pneumonia was detected, of which he died on the 28th. Right lung was in first stage of inflammation, the base of left
was hepatized. The spleen weighed 1lb 3½ oz.; on its convex surface was a large indurated nodule of fibrine.
193—Was attacked with cholera of a mild type on the 2nd June. On the 27th November was again taken ill, but recovered from the collapse
On the 2nd December he was attacked with an asthenic form of pneumonia, the temperature never exceeding 102° 4'. He died at 2 A.M. on the 6th
December. The right lung was completely hepatized ; the left was healthy.
147—Was attacked with cholera at 4 P.M., December 7th, and he died at 5 A.M. on 8th. Both lungs were collapsed, and dark clots of blood
were found in both ventricles of heart.
.
211—Was admitted into hospital with debility on the 26th September. He fell into a state of melancholia before he died. Early in December
a large puffy swelling of the scalp formed, which was found to consist of coagulated blood. He died on the 17th December. The scalp was tinckened
and indurated by serous effusion. A large hœmatoma was found beneath the periosteum, which was stripped off the frontal bone. Over the hemis-
pheres of the brain a semi-fluid gelatinous mass was spread.
40—Was for many months in wretched health. On the 16th December was attacked with cholera, of which she died at noon on the 17th.
Brain small (21b 6 oz.); lungs collapsed ; spleen enlarged, weighing 13 ounces. The small intestines were congested throughout.
70—Was admitted into hospital with dysentery on the 2nd October, and he died on the 25th December. A large caseous mass of tubegrcle,
surrounded by consolidated lung, was found in apex of left lung. In small intestines were numerous small ulcers of a dark colour, and partially healed:
one was situated in the duodenum. The whole of the mucous membrane of the large intestines was riddled by large, rodent, angry ulcers.
