In the well-known autopsyreports of Northrup, it is noted that in 125 autopsies the bronchiallymph nodes showed tuberculous changes in every case, irrespective ofthe cause of death. The lungs, pleura, spleen, intestines, liver, and meninges are involvedin the order here named. In the genitourinary tract primary tuber-culosis is relatively rare. It has been suggested that female children aremore rarely attacked than women because of the intact hymen, whichacts in obvious ways as a barrier to infection of these parts. w <-I Oh ?1Z < i. .- •-, ~^3 1 * /\ ( p ?J b- ?s, / ./ V
