Remarks.
Body greatly emaciated; the small and large intestines were congested in
patches, and there were two or three ulcers in the rectum, but ulceration
was not extensive.
The small and large intestines were congested throughout, and there were
several ulcers in the large intestines extending from cæcum to the rectum.
The left lung was firmly adherent to the chest wall and had to be torn off.
It was deeply congested. Heart pale and flabby. On opening the skull
the durameter was firmly adherent to the skull, the substance of the brain
was anæmic, pale, and soft; ventricles contained excess of serous fluid.
Body greatly emaciated; the small and large intestines were pale and
there were several large sloughing ulcers found in the large intestine ex-
tending up to the iles cæcal valve.
On opening the chest the cavity was filled up with serous fluid; the lungs
were congested; heart enlarged, pale and flabby. On testing with water
the avitic valves were found to be totally incompetent,—mitral valves
partially so. On opening the cavity a small ante-mortem clot was found
in the right auriculo-ventriculer opening. The cavity of the right auricle
and ventricle were abnormally large, and the walls thin. The left auricu-
lar and ventricular cavities were also larger than normal and extensive
growths were found on the avitic valves completely destroying them. A
few smaller growths were found in the mitral valve.
Both lungs were found to be in a state of intense congestion. The left heart
distended with dark blood. On opening the scalp several contusions were
found with extravasation of blood. On opening the durameter about a
pint of dark fluid blood was found extravasated on the surface of the brain;
the membranes were thickened and congested ; the substance of the brain
was congested.
The small and large intestines were congested. There were four round ulcers,
size of a 4-anna bit, found in the cardiac end of the stomach. None of the
ulcers had perforated the wall of the stomach, although one was a deep ulcer.
No post mortem made.
Body emaciated. Both lungs were infiltrated with tubercles at the apex
down to the middle of upper lobes. Spleen enlarged. The brain was soft,
pale and anæmic. The ventricles contained serous fluid and the cavities
appeared larger than usual.
