CASE 56.—Post-mortem
examination one hundred hours after death: The body was not
much emaciated. Nothing abnormal was detected in the brain.
The thoracic and abdominal viscera appeared healthy with the exception of the ileum, in which,
especially towards the ileo-cæcal valve, a number
of Peyer's patches were enlarged, inflamed and ulcerated,
the ulcers, however, seemed well advanced in the process of
cicatrization.—
