Canine lymphoma in 1914.

On September 2, as dog had made no progress and other swellings had made their appearance, one beneath the tongue and one near the penis, the owner requested me to poison him. One of these I sent to London and had a report from Mr Sheather to the effect that the so-called tumour was an enlarged lymphatic gland and that from the symptoms I had described he had no doubt it was a case of Hodgkin's disease. On looking up this complaint in my pathology notes I find it is a disease in which many or maybe the whole of the lymphatic glands of the body are greatly enlarged, the cause of condition being obscure.
