Excerpt: ... conditions as inflammation, strangulation, or oedema. When diarrhoea is present, it assumes virulence, and possibly also in constipation. When taken from a case of suppurative peritonitis, it invariably reproduces the same condition if injected into the abdominal cavity of animals. Ekehorn's observation on this point has been already quoted. Finally, there is evidence tending to show that its virulence, when introduced into the peritoneum, is dependent to some extent on the fluid with which it is mixed. And this is an important point when we consider the wide variation in the clinical forms of appendicular peritonitis. Laruelle (loc. cit.) has shown that its activity is much increased if sterilised fluid from the intestine is injected with it. When injected with salt solution the result is negative, but mixed with sterilised water or ox-gall a rapidly fatal peritonitis ensues, neither the sterilised water nor the ox-gall giving this result alone. Blood also seems to be a very favourable medium. All this is quite on a level with Cheyne's experiment on the action of proteus vulgaris, where the virulence of the organism was shown to depend on the medium with which it was mixed. (b) Peritonitis Accompanied By A Coagulable Exudation, Which Is Capable Of Undergoing Absorption Or Organisation (perityphlitis) While I believe that the bacterial origin of an acute general peritonitis and of a perityphlitic abscess is established by the facts detailed above, the origin of the local adhesive peritonitis manifested by a coagulable exudation around a diseased appendix still remains in doubt. This is by far the most common form of the disease. It may be said that these cases are never fatal except from some complication or accident, so that no information as to the bact...
