Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...be a continuous layer of these bacilli, all showing beautiful bipolar staining. It is clear, therefore, that the bowel discharges of such an animal would be containing plenty of B. pestis. From these descriptions it is seen that in the acute and typical form of plague such as in rats follows the cutaneous inoculation of small doses of virulent B. pestis the changes in the different organs are generally severe and very pronounced, and that the distribution and multiplication of the B. pestis in these organs is of a very intensive nature. II.--Mice inoculated cutaneously with the Virulent Type of B. pestis The conditions of the organs in the mouse are of a character which may briefly be described as an exaggeration in intensity of those observed in like circumstances in the rat. In all organs distension of the blood-vessels with haemorrhages is a dominant feature; and besides, the inguinal lymph glands and the spleen may be said to be practically crowded with masses of B. pestis, which are in all parts in continuous masses and in some places may almost entirely obscure the tissue. 1. The inguinal glands corresponding to the inoculated side, the cortical as well as the medullary lymph sinuses, are practically injected with B. pestis. Also in the lymphatic tissue of the cortex and medulla masses of B. pestis can be seen everywhere. What is left of the lymph tissue is necrotic in many parts. Not only the lymph vessels and lymph spaces of the gland itself, but those also of the surrounding tissue, show distension and almost complete injection with B. pestis. 2. In the spleen pulp there exists a continuous network of streaks and irregular masses of plague bacilli, the blood-vessels of the pulp being greatly distended and filled with blood. 3. The lungs show unifor...
