Small intestine, mucous membrane of, natural characters of, 68; glandular patches of, 68; softening of, with or without redness, 71; granulations of, two varieties of, 72, 73 ; ulcerations of, 74; are proper to phthisis, 82; causes of, 88. Spleen, sometimes tuberculous, 105; more rarely contains gray semi-transparent granulations, 106; size of, 106; con- sistence of, 106 ; lesions of, in subjects cut off by other chronic diseases, 106. Sputa, their characters and differences in the two periods of phthisis, 162 ; quan- tity of, very variable, 163; sometimes taken for matter of pleuritic effusion evacuated through the bronchi, 164 ; derived from two sources, 165. Stomach, size and position frequently changed in phthisis, 57 ; mucous mem- brane of, often softened and attenuated, as also sometimes the sub-mucous tis- sue, 58 ; nature of this softening, 60; inflammation of anterior surface of, con- nected with fatty state of the liver, 60; symptoms of, 191; mammillation of mucous membrane of, exists where sto- mach large as well as contracted, and is very rarely the only lesion present, 75; symptoms of this state generally obscure, 205; ulcerations of, less fre- quent than mammillation, 63 ; they are sometimes attended with severe symp- toms, 205 ; mucous membrane of, sel- domer healthy in phthisis, than in other chronic diseases, 66; mucous mem- brane, seat of cicatrices in, 212; mus- cular coat of, partially transformed into fibrous and semi-cartilaginous tissue, 216.
