    4 The case lacked the conclusive evidence of the development of cardiac murmurs and of emboli. Although carefully e.xamined daily there were no murmurs, and this was fairly well explained by the condition of the tricuspid valve which was competent, whilst the heart’s action was doubtless too weak to generate a direct murmur, and beyond the evidence of cardiac weakness present in any severe septic state, there was no signs of any abnormality. The limitation of the endocarditis to the tricuspid valve explained the absence of artei’ial emboli, which is such a marked feature of most cases of ulcerative endocarditis. <■
