Although a considerable number of communications relating to the presence of micro-organisms in the organs of fatal cases of enteric fever has been published, there exists, nevertheless, among the various investigators no complete unanimity of opinion regarding the question as to which form of organism should be designated as characteristic of the disease, and as its probable cause. As early as the year 1871 von Recklinghausen observed colonies of micrococci in renal abscesses of typhoid cadavers which, indeed, he did not look upon as the cause of the disease, but still " as an indication where the localization of the problematical spore was especially to be sought." This observation was corroborated in the following year by Eberth.t Eberth was also not of the opinion that the deposits of bacteria found in the internal organs stood in causal relation to the typhoid process. He found them exclusively in the stage of ulceration and cicatrization of the intestinal lesions, and thought, therefore, that they ought to be regarded as a secondary phenomenon, and indeed as diphtheritic aggregations.
