A manual of modern surgery : an exposition of the accepted doctrines and approved operative procedures of the present time, for the use of students and practitioners . om 90to 100 per cent, as red as the shade of red taken as a standard. Theestimation of hemoglobin is of value to the surgeon. Surgical Uses of Blood Examinations. Leucocytosis, which is a temporary increase in white cells as distin-guished from leukemia in which there is a permanent increase, isusually found in suppurative inflammation even if the suppurativefocus is small. The paraglobulin and fibrin ferment, which causecoagulation, are largely supplied by the leucocytes; hence, disintegra-tion of leucocytes releases these substances and gives rise to thrombosis,which is a frequent condition in inflammation. An unusual number of eosinophilic leucocytes points to an unusualactivity of pathological processes in the bone marrow, from which thisform of corpuscle is derived. Appendicitis is an inflammatory condition and therefore is accom-panied by leucocytosis. This circumstance may aid in the diagnosis,since uncomplicated typhoid fever, which may jjresent similar symp- PLATE VI. FIG.
