    catalogue of tied veins, and a comparison of this with the generally successfid cases of tied arteries. All the mystery of veins is, as I have attempted to show, that they are indisposed to inflame, but when excited, inflame by continuity, and therefore it is that the constitution sympathizes so deeply. Mr. Carmichael*, in one of the cases which he describes, considers it probable that the inflam- mation extended to the cava, and perhaps to the heart, but of the symptoms generally, he observes, that they were no doubt owing to the formation of matter, and the influence which it must produce on the general system when mixed with the mass of blood.t M. Brescheti, in alluding to the febrile symp- toms accompanying Phlebitis, remarks, that in several subjects who had died of Typhus, he had found evident traces of inflammation of veins within the cranium. But, whilst he seems to regard Typhus as a series of symptoms dependent on inflammation of the veins, he does not show how the primary local affection in cases of Phle- bitis produces the constitutional. * Observations on Vaiix and Venous Inflammation, in the Transactions of the King's and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland.
