" If, therefore, the absorbent glands in the axilla are obstructed by disease of the breast, other absorbent vessels carry their fluid into the absorbents from the arm, and when their glands are obstructed other absorbent or lymphatic vessels are found to pass behind the scapula from the axilla to enter the cervical glands above and behind the clavicle. " The absorbents of the sternal side of the nipple principally take two courses. " The first accompany the vein and the artery to the second intercostal space between the second and third cartilages of the ribs, and penetrating the intercostal muscles, they pass to the anterior mediastinum, where they accom- pany the internal mammary artery and vein, and enter some absorbent glands. " A set of absorbent vessels from the sternal side of the breast, placed lower down, enter the intercostal muscles between the fourth and filth cartilages of the ribs, and join the former in the anterior mediastinum. " After entering the anterior mediastinum a part of those which pass from the right breast join some vessels from the convex surface of the liver, and are continued into the angle of the right jugular and subclavian veins, whilst those absorbents of the left breast which enter the anterior mediastinum pass to the angle of the left jugular and subclavian veins. " The deep-seated absorbent vessels which can be best injected from the ducts and milk cel- lules whilst the breast is in a state of lactation, arise from the mucous membrane of the lacti- ferous tubes and milk-cells, and form a plexus of great beauty in the interior of the gland. " These numerous absorbents, as seen in the preparation, unite into two principal vessels, which pass into the axilla, and there enter the same absorbent glands as those which
