In neither of the cases wasthere any history of previous tubercular disease in the pa-tients themselves, or in the family. The glands were fromthe first much harder than in Pfeiffers disease. There is another condition which must be considered inthe differential diagnosis. These are cases to which Fischer has called attention,and termed the pseudoleukemia form of tubercular lymph-nodes. There is not only an enlargement of the cervicalnode
