Scurvy past and present . iberi. Necropsy protocols usually are incomplete and un-satisfactory in their descriptions of the heart.

Pericardial fluid somewhat increased, both ven-tricles moderately dilated, the right somewhat hyper-trophic. 2. The heart showed a hypertrophy of the right andleft ventricles, as well as dilatation of the right ventricle. 3. The right ventricle dilated and slightly hypertro-phied, the muscles pale and tough. In addition to this enlargement of the heart, or per-haps associated with it, there is a combination of signswhich has been termed the cardio-respiratory syn-drome (Hess). It will be noted in the above descriptionof a case of subacute scurvy, that the pulse- or heart-beatwas frequently over 150, and the respiration 60. Thesephenomena were noted in several instances before theirsignificance and intimate relationship to scurvy were rea-.
