Fibrous adhesions about the liver are not uncommon,ssociated with ascites there are frequently oedema and?rous atrophy of the subperitoneal and perinephric adi-ose tissue. Catarrhal inflammations of the stomach auditestines are also frequent iu atrophic cirrhosis, aud iuVol. v.—35 the kidneys there is often found an interstitial inflamma-tion compaitible to that iu the liver. The dimiuiuion in length of the small intestine is a se-quel to atrophic cirrhosis that many authors fail to men-tion; from the usual T to 8 metres, the length is reduced.
