The chief lesions are localised in the membranes of the brain and spinal cord, which are congested or inflamed, and contain an increased amount of cerebro-spinal fluid or a jelly-like, sometimes blood- stained exudation. Softening and hardening of the spinal cord have both been observed. Inflammation of the pleura and pericardium, with fluid or jelly-like exudation, are common; lobar congestion of the lungs, endo- carditis, gastritis, and enteritis have all been described; some observers have mentioned congestion of the kidneys and liver and swelling of the spleen. Lesions of the nerve-centres are the most constant and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Moussu, Gustave, 1864-; Dollar, Jno.
