Page 54 - Pain or tenderness in the acute attack existed in 19 out of 25 recovered cases.

That it is more prevalent in cold than in warm countries. 3. That from the northern part of the United States have been reported more cases than from any part of the world.
Page 121 - ... In the early acute stage the increase in cells is very marked. The cells are now, however, mostly of the lymphocytic or very early form of cells, and sometimes very hard to place, as they are apparently undifferentiated cells. As the cells decrease in number the polynuclears begin to return, and at the end of a week or ten days there are very few cells present, mostly large mononuclears with a few polynuclears. In the prodromal and acute stage there was at times a fibrin clot. This clot would...
