The spleen was enlarged, of light red color, with follicles slightly prominent.
The stomach contents was blackish in color; there were no hemorrhages or ulcers in the mucosa.
The liver was somewhat enlarged. The organ showed prominent structure, the centres of the acini being red, the periphery lighter in color.
The kidneys were slightly enlarged and pale. The capsule peeled off easily, the venæ stellatæ were prominent, the surface smooth; there were no hemorrhages. The cortex was increased in breadth and was of the same color as the surface; the pyramids were darker in color. The organ was of fragile consistence.
Suprarenals were normal, as were also intestine and bladder.
The histological findings were as follows:
Bubo.—The capsule of the gland was œdematous. The whole gland as seen in cross section had undergone necrosis, except a few foci which still showed cellular structure.
Lungs.—The alveoli were filled with homogeneous masses, containing but few degenerated epithelial cells and leucocytes. The blood-vessels were dilated, particularly in the subpleural part of the organ. In some places capillary mycotic emboli with subsequent hemorrhage were encountered. The large blood-vessels and bronchi were normal.
Salivary Glands.—Those glands attached to the primary bubo showed the normal structure of a combined mucous and serous gland.
