TUBERCLES AND GLANDERS NODULES OF THE SPLEEN.

_Tubercles_ in the spleen are common in cattle, swine, guinea-pigs,

rabbits and cats, in the last largely as the result of ingestion of

tuberculous meat. In the larger mammals individual tubercles are usually

of the size of a walnut and upward, while in the smaller they show as

miliary deposits. The products are often caseated or calcified.

_Glander nodules_ are found in the spleen of the horse and other

solipeds and as the result of inoculation in that of rabbits and

guinea-pigs. In solipeds they may be of considerable size whereas in the

inoculated rodents they are usually small and numerous—like millet seed

or pins’ heads.
