broncho-pulmonary and two of the tracheo-bronchial on the right side (not that on

which the fooua mo som) wore molim and congested,but contained no evidence of

left tubercles, and the glanda on the side were not affected at all.

In the following four cazes, though food were present in sach and the disease vRO
