Fi< From a man of fifty-seven years who died of Brights disease, e is a section of thewall of the vena cava magnified about four diameters ; f is its inner and g its outer sur-face. At g the outer portion of the adventitia has been somewhat separated in theprocess of preparation. The dotted lines indicate the portion of vena cava included inthe larger drawing below (X 44) ; i is the intima, which is shredded out and broken as theresult of disease. Below, the muscular coat is very loose-meshed, and at n is replaced bya tissue of different texture. The muscular layer is much thicker than natural. Thefibrous coat is very thick and loose-meshed, and there are vessels in it (v). The twovessels (v) in the separated portion of adventitia are so greatly thickened inwardly as tobe almost closed.

Fig. 37.—Growths in the Wall of a Vein, (x 50.) Part of a vein in the fat layer of the heart of a man of fifty-four years who died ofheart disease.
