Thus, in the lung in certain cases of typhoid pneumonia, I have seen the epithelial cells exhibit the same multiplication, with increase of of nuclei. (Figs. 31 and 32.) Fig. 31. Fig. 32. Fig. 33.

Fig 33.—Portions of normal epithelium separated from the air vesicles. In the epidermic cancroid disease observed in the lips, and in the scrotum of chimney sweeps, the epidermic scales increase far beyond their normal size; the cells and nuclei also enlarge, and the latter often exhibit a disposition to multiply fissiparously, as in the accom- panying figure, where ak enormous cell of this kind was found in a labial ulcer.
