![Section.—The suprarenal capsules the seat of cheesy de- generation. A. small-celled infiltration was found in the great ganglia round the left suprarenal body, and in these bodies themselves. The ganglionic cells were unchanged. We will now quote some other cases, in which no change was found in the sympathetic. 1. Recorded by Martineau.* Section.— Both the suprarenal capsules enlarged, and adherent to the surrounding tissues. The nerves of the coeliac plexus, and the ganglia of the solar plexus, were examined most carefully, and shoived no change. 2. Recorded by Child. +—A woman, 37 years of age. Section, by Tuckwell.—Both suprarenal bodies enlarged, and infiltrated with tubercles. No lesion in the nerves sup- plying the suprarenal glands. 3. Recorded by D. Williams.J—A woman, 46 years of age. Section.—The suprarenal bodies considerably enlarged and degenerated. The sympathetic nerves of the small splanchnic and the ganglia of the solar plexus were normal. 4. Recorded by Chatin.§—A man, 46 years of age. Section.—Both suprarenal capsules the seat of tubercular degeneration. In the semilunar ganglia no fatty metamor- phosis could be detected. 5. Recorded by van den Corput.||—A woman, 30 years of age. Section.—The left suprarenal body tuberculous, the right entirely atrophied, the nerves of the plexuses apparently normal. 6. Recorded by Heslop.^f—A man, 21 years of age. Section.—Both suprarenal capsules the seat of cheesy degeneration. No change in the sympathetic nerves and ganglia. 7. Recorded by Schiippel.**—A farm servant, 34 years of age. Section.—The sympathetic was perfectly normal. •Martineau, “ De la Maladie d’Addison,” Paris, 1861. T Child, “ Lancet,” 18 Feby., 1865, p. 176. X Williams, “Brit. Med.
