The patient may succumb to hæmorrhage or to infective complications such as erysipelas or meningitis. Secondary growths in the lymph glands, while not unknown, are extremely rare. We have only seen them once in a case of rodent cancer in the groin. Diagnosis. Lupus is the disease most often mistaken for rodent cancer.
Pilgrim's in a case of compound fracture, observed in a friendly colloquy with his brother surgeon the next day, 'So Dempster has left off driving himself, I see; he won't end with a broken neck after all. You'll have a case of meningitis and delirium tremens instead. 'Ah, said Mr. Pilgrim, 'he can hardly stand it much longer at the rate he's going on, one would think.
"History was never the fetich of my girlhood, and that quartette of dry-as-dust worthies whom Leo carries around in leash, as other women carry pugs and poodles, came near giving me meningitis in my tender years.
It's one of those complicated cases in which the delirium is likely to be of the worst kind meningitis and delirium tremens together and we may have a good deal of trouble with him. If Mrs. Dempster were told, I should say it would be desirable to persuade her to remain out of the house at present. She could do no good, you know. I've got nurses. 'Thank you, said Mr. Tryan.

Custom has sharpened our clinical instinct, and where, in civil life, we would look for meningitis, now we only write cerebral malaria, and search the senseless soldier's pay-book for the name that we may put upon the "dangerous list." As this name is flashed 12,000 miles to England, I sometimes wonder what conception of malaria his anxious relatives can have.
The chorus of the wounded rose in gusts; there were always in the adjoining wards some dozen men wounded in the head, and suffering from meningitis, which provoked a kind of monotonous howling; there were men wounded in the abdomen, and crying out for the drink that was denied them; there were the men wounded in the chest, and racked by a low cough choked with blood... and all the rest who lay moaning, hoping for an impossible repose....
