Excerpt from On the Temperature of the Body as a Means of Diagnosis and Prognosis in Phthisis

True tubercle consists of small rounded bodies varying in size from an almost imperceptible point to that of a large pin's head, generally pretty equally scattered through the lungs, often affecting many other structures, and in the dis seminated form mostly occurring in children. Tubercles are probably produced by proliferation of the connective tissue corpuscles, or of the cells around small arteries and veins, situated most likely in the perivascular canals; or of the cells of the lymphatic vessels, or of those minute lymphatic glands which Dr. Sanderson has shown exist naturally in the lungs. According to the old views, still held by some excellent pathologists, these grey granulations may under go fatty degeneration, and become Opaque and then soften and lead to cavities. These bodies often become obsolescent.
