In the interesting and val uable contributions to its morbid anatomy, made by my friend and colleague, Prof. Clark, although he has not definitely expressed his Opinion as to the pathology of the disease, yet I think the legitimate deduction from what he has said must be, that it is a local phlegma sia.
