July 24th 1894. —Autopsy seven hours post mortem.
The body is well nourished and there are no signs of œdema on the lower extremities, abdomen, or chest.
Thorax.—Is free from fluid and there are no pleuritic adhesions.
Lungs.—Are pink in colour, are not petechiated, appear to be well distended with air, and on section the tissues
present a healthy appearance.
The pericardial sac contains about one drachm of a clear fluid.
Heart.—Weighs 6 lbs. 12½ ozs. Externally the organ is free from ecchymoses. On section the right auricle and
ventricle are found to contain a mass of dark blood clots, and there are two small subendocardial extravasations. The
left auricle contains a few clots. The left ventricle is contracted, and contains a small amount of clot. There are
several subendocardial extravasations the size of a two-anna piece, situated for the most part round the base of the
musculi-papillares. Valves healthy.
The abdominal cavity is free from fluid.
Liver.—Weighs 17 lbs. 1 oz., is considerably enlarged. The capsule presents signs of old inflammation. On section
the tissues are dark in colour and some blood escapes from the cut ends of the vessels.
Spleen.—Weighs 5 lbs. 12¼ ozs., is nearly three times the normal size. There are numerous sub-capsular petechiæ.
On section the tissues are soft and dark in colour.
Kidneys.— The right weighs 1 lb. 13½ ozs., the left 2 lbs. 1½ ozs. The capsules strip easily. The surfaces of both
organs are petechiated. On section the tissues appear dark, but are firm.
Stomach.—Contains semi-digested food. On section the cuticular portion is pale and free from pathological
change. The mucous membrane of the villous portion presents a certain amount of congestion, and there is a spiroptera
tumour situated near the divisional line between the two parts of the organs.
Small Intestines.—The mucous membrane is somewhat congested in patches throughout its whole length.
Large Intestine.—Presents a normal appearance.
Bladder.—Contains some fifteen ounces of dark sherry-coloured urine. The mucous membrane is petechiated at
the fundus, and there are a few small ecchymoses round the neck of the organ.
