Associated with this dii-^ease of the cieca, there is in nearly all cases a more or less serious disease of the liver. This organ is enlarged in proportion to the amount of its tissue which is affected. It may l)e twice the normal size, and over its surface are seen roundish discolored spots, varying from one-eighth to two-thirds of an inch in diameter.
