In two instances slight hemorrhages were observed into the conjunctival tissues. In each case they were unilateral and occupied the tissues contiguous to the inner canthus. In one case there was well-marked icterus with yellow coloration of the scleræ and skin. In this case the icterus was associated with degenerative changes in the liver, there being no recognizable obstruction to the bile passages. The icterus had come on quite acutely and without any special clinical manifestations. In the epidemic of 1890 jaundice was present in a considerable number of cases (Medical Record, 1890, xxxvii, 473). Cole made similar observations in the epidemic of influenza amongst the Canadian soldiers. Œdema of the skin was not met with in any of our cases. This point is worthy of comment, inasmuch as some authors have been impressed with the serious damage taking place in the kidney and the resulting incapacity of these organs. Although, as we shall point out later, the kidney tissues in these cases showed a decided toxic degeneration, there was no evidence that a glomerular damage of serious degree ever occurred. The urinary excretion, as is pointed out in a report by Dr. Zeedick, varies considerably with the intensity of the disease. It is unusual to find derangement of kidney function to a degree to reflect seriously upon the general bodily state. At least this has been our experience in the present epidemic. Even where subsequently we were able to demonstrate a considerable tubular degeneration in the cortex of the kidney the change in the kidney function was not of sufficient magnitude to lead to a water-retention to be recognized in an anasarca. I wish to distinguish clearly at this point the difference in finding an œdema in certain involved tissue structures in various parts of the body and arising through an inflammatory reaction due to the presence of peculiar focal irritation, as compared with the accumulation of fluid in many and irregular situations as it occurs through retention and faulty excretion by the kidneys. Various organs as we have found—as, for instance, the lung, heart and liver—showed a condition of œdema which was not to be reconciled with an inadequate circulation because of a cardiac or renal incompetency. These œdemas, which we will discuss later, are local and are the result of damaging influences inducted in and upon the tissues where they are found. _Muscle_
