Lettering: Small tubercles in the lung. Tubercles in the lungs. A section. This drawing was made from a piece of lung taken from a patient of Dr Hue's. The viscus was of a deep red color & full of blood, it was thickly mudded with the dark tubercles here represented, which could readily be detached with a scalpel & pair of forceps. The lung was somewhat heavier than natural. The patient was a woman, but of the history of the case I know nothing.
