siderable swelling from right scapula down to the loin, with inflammatory
symptoms. An abscess of large size developed, which was opened and
dressed antiseptically twice a day. The result appeared satisfactory for a
few days. The patient then gradually lost ground and died on the 21st
December 1898 from exhaustion.
Post mortem.—Right lung 1 lb. 4 oz.; congested; right pleura at the upper
part posteriorly was inflamed and covered a small collection of pus which
appeared to have a connection with the suppuration under the scapula.
On the back, from the neck down to the loin, considerable swelling. On
making incisions the tissues of the back were found to be undermined,
forming a large irregular abscess cavity, the walls of the abscess not being
at all defined. The tissues were infiltrated with pus. A considerable
number of sloughs among the tissues.
