Simul- taneously with Sehiipprl, Bicsiadccln3—then assistant of Hokitansky—published a description of four cases of tuberculosis, in all of which tubercles had formed in the extravasations that had taken place into the serous cavities. Schiippel* did not rest here, but soon after pub- lished other articles regarding the development of tubercles in lymphatic glands, in which he presents new observations concerning the genesis of tuber- cles and giant-cells, which differ entirely from his former statements. All tubercles, in conformity with these observa- tions, consist at first of giant-cells, originating in the blood- or lymph-vessels. Tubercles, however, do not consist solely of giant-cells ; but the tissues surround- ing the giant-cells become diseased, and these dis- eased tissues, together with the giant-cells, constitute the tubercles.
