Abscess of the Liver.Symptoms.-The formation of an abscess, suppuration, in the liver is indicated by a series of shiverings or chills at irregular intervals, followed by fever and profuse perspiration. The pain in the right side becomes sharper, and may be accompanied with a throbbing sensation. There may also occur a short, dry but annoy ing cough. While these symptoms are usually present, a certain number of cases occur without manifesting themselves in this way. In these cases the abscess may exist unsuspected until it breaks, and thus gives evidence of its existence. Treatment.-The formation of the abscess cannot be pre vented by any means at present known ; but after once formed, it can oftentimes be emptied with safety to the patient. For, not withstanding the delicate nature of the structures which surround it, it has been found possible to pass fine needles into the liver and withdraw the matter. The same object has been attained by a surgical operation. If no surgical measures be employed, the abscess is often apt to terminate in the death of the patient. This fatal result may occur in one of two ways : the abscess may break into the abdom inal cavity, causing a general inflammation ; or, the patient may be worn out by long-continued fever, vomiting and inability to digest his food.
