CASE 131.—Post-mortem examination: There were no
adhesions, but the pleural cavity contained a small quantity of serum; the lungs were small and congested; the
posterior part of the lower lobe of the right lung sank in
water and a bloody fluid escaped from it on section. There
was an excess of serum in the pericardium; the heart
contained clots. The peritoneum was thickened; the liver
enlarged and congested; the gall-bladder distended. There
were patches of congestion in the small intestine and the
agminated glands were softened.—
