In _Intestinal anthrax_ (intestinal mycosis) the lesions are usually concentrated on the small intestines, while the stomach and large intestines in the main escape. The walls of the bowel are of a dark red, and greatly thickened by exudation and extravasation which also mixes with the ingesta giving it a dark bloody tinge. At intervals on the mucosa are nodular hæmorrhagic swellings, from the size of a linseed to a pea, with commencing necrotic changes or the formation of sores. The mesenteric glands are swollen, infiltrated and hæmorrhagic, and like the other lesions abound in bacilli. Hyperæmia and engorgement of the liver and above all of the spleen are the rule. In _pulmonary anthrax_ (wool-sorter’s disease) a sanguineous liquid is found in the lower trachea and bronchia, and not infrequently in the pleuræ and pericardium. The bronchial glands are swollen, hyperæmic and often hæmorrhagic, and exudations and extravasations may be found in the mediastinum and lungs. Lesions of the intestines and spleen are common, and in all alike the bacilli are found. In certain cases the anthrax lesions may be found in the brain, or any part of the body but in all they show the same general characters and the same specific microbe. SYMPTOMS: DIAGNOSIS. _Malignant Vesicle_ (_pustule_). Symptoms may vary somewhat but are in the main as follows: An itching papule appears in the seat of inoculation, which might be mistaken for an insect bite but for the dark red color of the centre. Occurring on an uncovered portion of the skin, in an anthrax district, or near a factory where anthrax products are likely to be used, this should at once create suspicion. Soon the dark centre is covered by a small vesicle with clear contents which later become bloody. Within 24 or 48 hours the vesicle dries up, becoming firm, resistant and brownish red or blackish gray, and apparently gangrenous. The swelling has meanwhile extended to ½ or ¾ inch in diameter and a row of fresh vesicles may appear which in their turn give place to a necrotic slough. In this way extension may take place, the sore retaining a more or less rounded form, and necrosis extending from the centre in every direction. The necrotic mass, however, remains firmly adherent to the adjacent tissues until separated by the work of suppuration which ensues in favorable cases. The disease is attended with more or less fever, chill, hyperthermia, nausea, diarrhœa, with aching of head, back, and limbs and unfavorable cases may merge into acute and fatal general anthrax. The mortality is about 20 per cent., though in special epidemics it has reached 80 per cent. (With the pustule on the face 25 per cent.; on the lower limb 5 per cent., Norris). The prognosis is favorable with a free concentration of leucocytes, a moist condition of the wound and above all a liberal invasion of pus cocci. It is unfavorable when the wound is dry, when the
