Plate XXXVI. Tuberculosis of lymph gland and of omentum (caul).

Fig. 1. A lymph gland from the region of the thorax behind or above the esophagus, or gullet (posterior, or dorsal, mediastinum). The gland is shown cut through and laid open. It is very much enlarged, and the yellowish cheesy masses which represent tissue undergoing tuberculous changes are well shown on the cut surface.

Fig. 2. Omentum, or caul, resting upon the paunch. The reddish nodules with which the membrane is beset are tubercles, the product of the disease.
