Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...amount of membrane was coughed up, which was very thin and semi-transparent in character, very similar to that in the last case, and mixed up with thick viscid mucus. On the clinical evidences the diagnosis was insanitary tonsillitis, probably due to staphylococcus. Two cultures, one from the throat and one from this discharged exudate, resulted in a bacteriological report to the Fig. 51. effect that there were large quantities of staphylococci, with a very few short, stunted bacilli of diphtheria.
