The decreaseof the red corpuscles did not keep pace with the increase of the sole increase of the leucocytes was in the large lymphocytes, varyingwithin 14 days from per cent, to 82 per cent. There is a steady de-crease of small mononuclear lymphocytes and a rapid decrease of thepolynuclear Fig. 2. With rapidly developing asthenia the patient died on the eighteenthday after his admission to the hospital. He was unable during this timeto take any but liquid nourishment on account of the condition of hismouth, and but little of that.

The pulsevaried from 110 to 120 and the respiration from 28 to 32. During thelast week the temperature varied from 100 degrees F. to 103 degrees F., pseudo-scorbutic type op acute lympathic leukaemia 439 while the pulse varied from 128 to 150.
