DR.. Hammoid still conttt'les his ilveetiga-
taonH upon tho portions Of tic b,sn oil McCur-

which had been soaking IN acid for several daye,,
was removed, ana thin sections placed nnacr tho

Ing. paper. Tic name sy.uptons or indication
wero observed BY DR.. Clifford Allbaet and de-
tailed before tho London Pathological Society.
Ho examined tho nlcdullaH OF two true
n.y. Mhydrnphoelo cases In January, 1871. I noticed
Flnnnng>H work Oh hydrophohia. Tie body Of
tho book states TINT no record Of microscopcally
examined organs lad been made. WLlio looking
over The volume since The Mccormick caso orea.

burt'a observations. Dr. Ailbu,t is an honorary
member Of the New York Neurological Society,
go we arc IN a measure Interested Ia Ills su:cosa-
1ul discoveries apart from their acientiho bearing
In those Lite cases. My own observations sa,pl7
conir,n those which l,o n,ado; they correspond
exactly tn all thu particulars go lar aB thew arc
recorded. Tho most important fact fl the
whole case case 50 TAR in my opinion Is tho do
nervous Abrous tissue OF portlous OF tho
medulla oblongata. They are charged with d
3at!y substance In abort. o fatty degeneration
hnd taHen place; a similar degeneration had
affected tho blood Vessels Of the brnin and nor
vous matter. The weakening which onsuea
allowed the vessels to burst, and as CONSEQUENCE
lho extrayasased blood waa found in tho brain
IND netys tissue under examination. Those clots
pf blood wore plainly to bo seen with tho naked
eye, and mere Of small moment compared with

Dr. Hammond Mill continue lis investigations
