=Resolution.= If an inflammation, slight in character and with only a moderate exudation, subsides and is followed by a rapid liquefaction of the cells and fibrinous coagula and a reabsorption of the exudate, so as to leave the part in its primary healthy condition structurally and functionally, it is said to have terminated by “_resolution_.” If this occurs with extraordinary rapidity it is said to have ended by “_delitescence_.” This is not always an unalloyed good, as often in delitescence, coagula and infecting material may be carried on by the circulation, to block the next set of capillaries in its course and set up new centres of inflammation. This is one form of “_metastasis_” though a more definite _metastasis_ is in rheumatism where the disease attacks one joint today and a distant one to-morrow. =Inflammatory New Formations.= Of the growths in lymph there are two principal kinds: first, _the plastic_, _fibrinous_, _granular_ or _molecular_; and second, _the aplastic_ or _corpuscular_. The first form tends to develop into new structure, the second to disintegrate and decay. The tendency to one or other form depends largely on the strength or weakness of the system’s health, on the deficiency or excess of corpuscles in the exuded fluid, and on the distance of the latter from living tissues and blood supply. Much also depends on the predisposition of the genus, the tendency to suppuration in lymph being in a descending series from horse, ass, and mule, through ox and sheep, to dog, pig, and finally, the bird, in which latter suppuration is quite exceptional. =Suppuration.= In inflammations of a high type, in those occurring on the skin or mucous membranes in which there is an extraordinary increase of nuclei and embryonal cells, and in lymph thrown out in excess at one point, so that its central parts are far from vascular tissue and nourishment, the cell elements undergo a rapid increase and degradation into pus-corpuscles, and its solidified intercellular lymph undergoes granular decay and liquefaction into pus.
