(From Aureggio's "Album Guide".) addition the following lesions may be found in the cases of the usual type of hog cholera: Skin.—The skin may be hyperemic, and there may be subcutaneous hemorrhages. The blood vascular skin lesions are most marked on the srft skin on the under surface of the belly and the inner sides of i\vc thighs and forearms. The hemorrhages may be petechial or they may be ecchymotic. When lesions of the skin occur they are scarlet red in color. Lymph-glands.—The lesions of these glands are not confined to any one gland or group of glands, but may occur in the cervical glands.
