![BLOOD INTO THE CELLULAR TISSUE, sugellatio, effusio, ecchy- mosis,” are very frequently found. Ifinternal abscesses burst, the pus escapes into the neighbouring cellular tissue, and by apertures in the urinary passages, the URINE also, which often extends very far in the cellular tissue of the back, in the pelvis, and beneath the muscles of the belly, even up to the breast. We also find various kinds of gases and fluids in the cellular tissue in consequence of the great penetrability of ani- mal membranes. Further, PARASITIC ANIMALS, VIZ. acara or mites, larvee of the estrus, filari@, and cysticerci,*® are found in every part of the cellular membrane of man and animals; next, not unfrequently Bony and sTONY CONCRETIONS; and lastly, many DEAD EXTRANEOUS SUBSTANCES, which are conveyed from without into the organism, remain in the cellular tissue often for a long time without any apparent injury, and often, even travel about to a very great extent. (1) Compare above, § 18, in which, however, it is also to be observed that organic diseases of the brain and heart rarely induce consequent wasting; further, § 20 and § 21. Griine D. de sana et morbosa pinguedinis in corpore secretione. 8vo. Berol. 1826. Alibert,in his Nosologie Naturelle, Vol. I. p. 490, pl. A, gives an engraving of a very fat boy of twelve years old. An instance of the cure of a case of very large adiposis is given by v. Graefe in Journ. fiir Chir. und Augenheilk, Vol. IX. Part III. p. 367, with an engraving. [ Dr. Cheyne also, who, when thirty-five years of age, weighed 448 pounds, by proper management, reduced his weight to 280 pounds, and lived to the age of seventy-three. A. P. Cooper’s Lectures, MSS. T.] Compare also the articles Obesité, Corpu- lence and Graisse in the Dict. des Sciences Médic.—G. M‘Crake D. de pingue et pinguitudine. Edinb. 1805. [There is in the Mus. St. Thomas’s Hosp. a piece of fat from the abdomen of a woman, which is about four inches thick. T.] (2) Breschet Recherches sur les hydropisies actives en général, et sur l’hydro- pisie active du tissu cellulaire en particulier. Diss. inaug. 4to. Paris, 1812. Compare above, § 51 and § 55. In brutes ANnAsaARca is less frequent than in man, although often to be observed in monkeys, sheep, calves, dogs, and in poultry ; the opposite state of the fat and serum is also very interesting, as when the one is unnaturally increased, the other appears to be decreased. (3) In nervous and gastric diseases, particularly in hypochondriac and hysterical persons, there sometimes occur suddenly tumours of very different size, which, after a few hours or days, or at death, immediately subside, and are produced by effusion of SERUM. QMpEMA not unfrequently occurs as the con- sequence of the obstructed reflux of blood, owing to compression or adhesion of the veins.
