This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...cases under ten years of age with autopsy and 2 without autopsy, and has added 3 more which' occurred in the Massachusetts General Hospital; 29 in all. Women suffer from ulcer far more frequently than men. This is shown by all statistics and is illustrated by the following figures: Of 154S cases of gastric ulcer collected from the official reports of hospitals in the United States and England, 1273 occurred in women and 275 in men.

Such persons are usually chlorotic or anemic. So, too, ulcer is sometimes a complication of tuberculosis, and it may be in itself tuberculous. Gastric ulcer may be divided into four classes: In the first the lesion is very mild, the mucous membrane being eroded in such a manner that its superficial epithelium is destroyed. All authors do not agree, however, that these erosions are a form of peptic ulcer. The second type is characterized by an ulcerative process which penetrates more deeply, so that the submucous tissues are affected. The third invades the submucous, muscular, and even the peritoneal coat, and may cause perforation. The fourth type is that in which as a result of cicatrization and contraction scars and deformities develop, which produce serious consequences.
