The aortic valves have unfortunately been destroyedthrough handling. The mitral valve shows marked induration oj the leaflets and chordw tendinem,together with a Jew old fibrous vegetations. The papillary muscles are hyperlrophied.

TangP has shown that even in the most emaciatedanimals hypertrophy of the left ventricle will develop after arti-ficially produced valvular lesions. Hypertrophy is a result of the prolonged overexertion of theheart muscle which is required to supply the
