Case from the case-book and medical descriptive lists of the DOUGLAS HOSPITAL
CASE 324.—Autopsy: Near the sagittal suture the skull was very thin and translucent over four depressions corresponding to enlarged Pacchionian glands. The brain appeared to contain more blood than normal. The small intestine was pale. The solitary follicles of the large intestine were enlarged, with a darkened areola and a black dot in the centre of each. The spleen was small and soft. The other organs were apparently healthy.—
