![in the meshes of an adenoid network. Very often the giant-cells contain particles of the introduced foreign bodies in their interior. Baumgartcn has compared sections of such nodules, with preparations of miliary tuberculosis, and was not able to find any marked or noteworthy difference between the two. He comes to the conclusion, founded on these in- vestigations, that miliary tuberculosis can be de- veloped by artificially-produced inflammation, and that, for this reason, the giant-cell tubercle was not a characteristic product of miliary tuberculo- sis. It was further demonstrated by Baumgarten that those syphilomata, which appear in the form of miliary nodules, have exactly the same structure as miliary tubercles, and that they may even undergo caseation from the center outwards. He found nodules of the same structure also in an osteo-sarcoma of the tibia.1 All these observations Baumgarten considers impor- tant links in a chain of evidence against the accept- ance of the theories of a localized tuberculosis, the identity of lupus with tuberculosis and of murrain with tuberculosis. The experiments of Baumgarlen pointed, moreover, to the conclusion that tubercles produced by inoculation must, from an histological standpoint at least, be regarded as products of in- flammation—an inflammation in conformity with the ]Uber ein Knochensaicom.
