• This was Mammary.
fThis was situated at the upper extremity of the sternum, involving the sterno-
clavicular articulation on the right side, and eventually communicated with the
anterior mediastinum, assuming a gangrenous condition before death.
’ I The inflammation which here arose in a man of depraved constitution, ex-
tended throughout the arm, and the patient died from the exhaustion consequent -
upon the profuse purulent discharge, he being at no time, after the very proper
attempt to save the fingers, in a suitable condition for amputation.
