The curve of normal spleen weight is from data compiled by Prof. R. E. Scammon. Great individual variation is evident, but in most cases the weight is below normal. Sison ('20) in 4 adult males on voluntary fasting observed a decrease in the splenic area of dulness on percussion, which he ascribed partly to a decrease in the size of the spleen, and partly to increased tympany of the overlying lung margin. Bean and Baker ('19) from a study of a large series of organ weights at autopsy concluded that the weight of the spleen varies directly with the degree of general nutrition of the body (body weights not available). Pearl and Bacon ('22), however, from a statistical study of the ratios between the weights of various organs at autopsy found an indication of an increased absolute weight of the spleen in fatal tuberculosis, which usually produces marked emaciation of the body. In Fig. 75, representing a field graph of the spleen weight in emaciated individuals (from various sources), under 20 years of age, arranged according to
