    a positive lymphatic cachexia is produced, and death results from a special form of debilitation. You therefore perceive, Gentlemen, that the case on which I have attempted to call the attention of the present meeting, may prove interesting, not only from its novelty and rarity, but also from the light which it throws upon other subjects. It m-ay also lead us to attribute a higher physiological importance to the vesicular glands of the intestinal tube, whether solitary or agglomerated ; it seems* to point to their influence as modificators of the blood, and may perhaps induce us to place them among the hmmato- poietic organs. These considerations. Gentlemen, which seem to flow naturally from the history of the case which I have reported, will perhaps render it sufficiently interesting to deserve the attention of the present meeting. My purpose, however, has chiefly been to bring this new variety of Leucemia under your notice. THE END. I'rintciJ by Hennuybr et ms, 7, rue du Boulevard. — Paris.
