Gangrenous tonsils

Godart, Thomas

Watercolour drawing of the tongue and tonsils from a patient in whom the tonsils had become gangrenous. Numerous micrococci were found upon making a careful microscopical examination of the dead tissue. From a boy aged 19, who had only been ill for a week. He suffered from epistaxis and haemoptysis, but had made no complaint of a sore throat.
