Show Strands Piu.se op Disease. There having been much uncertainty as to the nature and character of tho internal dis:aso which caused the death of Mrs, James Nult, a )ost mortnn examination waa made on Tuesday, by Dr. Ormsby assisted by Drs. Davis and Tait, which revealed the most astonishing decree of diseaso of the organs of tho abdominal cavity. The omentum and pcritonceum were so corrugated cor-rugated and thickened by disease on the right side, that those membranes were torn loose on tho lelt side and folded in the right; a completo mass of discaso from scirrhosity and small ulcers. The ascending colon and the small intestines, on the right side, were in tho same scirrhous condition. Tho rectum, utcruB and bladder were also much diseased. Tho length of time from tho apparent commencement commence-ment of this discaso to its termination, was a period of about fourteen months, and this tenacity of life, in view of the extensive and serious character of the disease and the importance of the organs involved, may be looked upon as remarkable. |
