    ACUTE LOBAR PNEUMONIA; A PATHOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL STUDY OF 120 CONSECUTIVE CASES SUBJECTED TO POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. By JOHN LINDSAY STEVEN, M.D., Physician and Lecturer on Clinical Medicine, Glasgow Royal Infirmary ; Lecturer on the Practice of Medicine, Queen Margaret College, University of Glasgow; Hon. Librarian, Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, Glasgow ; Formerly Professor of Pathology, St. Mungo’s College, Glasgow. In the following paper I propose to give an analysis of the records of 120 cases of acute lobar or croupous pneumonia in which I made and recorded the post-mortem examinations. The paper will be mainly pathological in its bearings, though not entirely so, as I have examined the clinical summaries of all the cases so far as these were available to me. At present my personal observations have only to do with the facts revealed on post-mortem examination; the clinical facts which are here analysed were supplied to me by my colleagues under whose care the cases were during life. Although acute lobar pneumonia is one of the most familiar diseases with which the practical physician is called upon to deal, the facts revealed in the post-mortem room are always of interest and frequently of great importance, as conducing to that accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis upon which all rational treatment of the disease is based. From this point of view I think the record of the personally observed facts contained in this paper may not be without interest to the readers of the present volume of the Glasgow Hospital Reports. I hope also that the paper may not be without value as a contribution to the already voluminous literature of acute lobar pneumonia.
