Hepatization of lower lobes of both 11th lungs.

Both lungs hepatized posteriorly, with 6th slight congestion.

Left lung partly hepatized, and in a 4th state of congestive pneumonia, posteriorly; right lung the same. Right pleura contained about 6 oz. of turbid serum-its whole surface was very vascular, and covered to a considerable extent with a film of soft yellowish semi-transparent lymph; left pleura vascular, but less so than the right.

Congestive pneumonia in first stage 3rd posteriorly of both lungs; mucous membrane of bronchi inflamed, with much frothy mucus.

Congestive pneumonia in first stage in 8th both lungs in a marked degree;

mucous membrane of bronchi much inflamed, with much frothy mucus.

Congestive pneumonia in first stage in 38th both lungs posteriorly; in left pleura 3 pints of turbid serum.

Pleuræ contained recent lymph; lungs, 38th posteriorly congestive pneumonia in first stage; anteriorly emphysematous; bronchi contained much frothy mucus; lining membrane reddened.

Right pleura contained 2 or 3 oz. of 96th turbid serum; left pleura about 4 oz. ; lungs, emphysematous anteriorly; posteriorly congestive pneumonia in first stage.

Right pleura contained 6 or 8 oz. of 5th reddish turbid serum, with ramiform congestion and lymph effused; right| lung posteriorly hepatized, with congestive pneumonia; left lung healthy.

Right lung hepatized; left lung 10th healthy.

RESEARCHES

INTO

THE CONNECTION EXISTING BETWEEN AN UNNATURAL DEGREE OF COMPRESSION OF THE BLOOD CONTAINED IN THE RENAL VESSELS,

AND

THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN ABNORMAL MATTERS IN THE URINE.

READ FEBRUARY 14TH, 1843.

HAVING undertaken some experiments with the view of determining the precise cause of the appearance of albumen in the urine, I found that not only liquid albumen and blood, but coagulating lymph or fibrine also escaped into the urinary passages as the consequence of an obstruction to the return of blood through the renal vein. As the unnatural compression of the blood in the renal vessels, thus artificially produced, gave rise to phenomena identical with those constituting the primary effects of inflammation, and as the kidney seemed to present greater facilities for an experimental investigation of that important subject than any other organ of the body, I was induced to
