A noticeablefeature is the irregular distribution of the contraction, the amount of tissue upon one sideof the hilum being nearly twice as great as upon the other. Fig. THE KIDNEY. 139 thickened by disease that they can no longer be distinguished fromarteries. It is inconceivable that all the blood-vessels which existedin this kidney when it was of the full natural size are still presentin the reduced organ which survived the disease, and it is thereforealmost certain that the vessels which were destroyed contributed theirpart toward the formation of the fibrous tissue by having their open-ings entirely occluded and thus becoming solid cords. This belief iswarranted by the fact that the whole tendency of the vessels is towardincrease of their fibrous tissue, thickening, and finally entire closure,for it is not rare to see a vessel with its lumen entirely most striking feature of all, perhaps, shown by the drawing inconnection with the blood-vessels is their displacement from the
