Sections of the Liver in the condition of Acute Atrophy. Section of the right lobe, at the commencement of the process. The liver is hypermmic and, at some places, ecchymosed. The lobules are surrounded by a rim of injected bloodvessels, and, at their centre, are coloured citron-yellow; they are separated from one another by a dirty grey substance. Towards the sharp margin of the gland, the vascular injection diminishes; the yellow lobules become smaller, and the grey interstitial matter, more abundant. Cut surface of the left lobe, in a state of advanced Atropliy. Here, the surface presents a uni- form ochre-yeUow colour, in which lighter, branched figures can be observed. There is no longer any trace of vascular injection. Sediment of Tyrosine deposited spontaneously from the urine of a patient, after standing in the cold air. (Case of Nitschke, Observation XV. Vol. I, p. 202.) Residue of a drop of the same urine, after evaporation upon the object-glass. Yellow crystal- line masses of Tyrosine, surrounded by globular and membraniforra deposits of Leucine. Pure Tyrosine obtained by re-crystallisation from the sediment represented in Fig. 3. Several lobules of the atrophied liver, represented in Figs. 1 and 2, after injection of the hepa- tic vein. The yellow injection has become extravasated in the interior of the lobule, without penetrating so far as the terminal branches of the portal vein. Crystals of Leucine are seen in the yellow parenchyma of the lobule, which is surrounded by a ring, formed by a considerable accumulation of fine oil-globules. Globules of Leucine tinged with the colouring matter of the urine, from the urine of a Typhus patient. Leucine from the Spleen. a Globular Crystals of Leucine containing lime. b Crystals of pure Leucine obtained by sublimation. 0*
