A treatise on Bright's disease and diabetes, with especial reference to pathology and therapeuticsIncluding a section on retinitis in Bright's disease . preparations its peculiar subdivisions are easily recogniza-ble. The epithelium of the glomerule as a rule exhibitssimply swelling, especially the nuclear portion, as well as amarked extension of the single cells whose convexity has aradius considerably longer than normal, corresponding to theincreased lumen of the capillary. The capillaries themselvesare increased in diameter to .03 mm. (g^ inch). After re-moval of the epithelium of the glomerule, the lumen of thecapillaries is found more or less occupied by a cloudy, finelygranular substance, which sometimes contains a few and some-times a large number of minute fat-drops, takes up carmine,clears up and swells somewhat on the addition of acetic it are found numerous small round nuclei, .006 mm. (^j^gg to syV^^ inch) in diameter, exactly similarto the normal capillary nuclei, and quite different from thelarge oval epithelial nuclei. They are separated from eachother by a distance equal to half their own diameter. That. % <X^ Capillary loops with proliferation of the nuclei, the epithelium being retained only at 300.—Alter Lanohans. these nuclei truly lie in the finely granular mass and arenot adherent to the capillary wall, is seen at points ofrupture, or still better on pressure, when nuclei and finegranular matter well-up without breaking up into single capillaries are still pervious to blood, but a higherpressure than usual is required to fill them, even then with but ACUTE PARENCHYMATOUS NEPHRITIS.
