The deep layer of the cervical f ., or, according to some authorities,
an independent structure ; a strong layer of fibrous tissue which
lies beneath the platysma myoides and gives off a number of pro-
cesses which invest the muscles and vessels of the neck. It is at-
tached posteriorly to the ligamentum nuchas and the spinous pro-
cesses of the cervical vertebras, and passes forward to the posterior
edge of the sterno-mastoid muscle, where it divides into two layers
(between which the muscle lies), which unite at the anterior border
and join in the middle line with the f . of the other side. The most
superficial of these layers is C9ntinuous above with the parotid and
masseteric f ascias, and below is attached to the clavicle, in the pos-
terior triangle of the neck. Below the thyreoid gland the united
layers again separate into two sheets, which are attached respect-
ively to the anterior and posterior surfaces of the upper border of
the sternum and the interclavicular ligament, the deeper of the two
closely investing the sterno-hyoid and the sterno-thyreoid muscles.
From the layer beneath the sterno-mastoid muscle are given off :
(1) a process which covers the posterior belly of the omo-hyoid
muscle, binding it down to the clavicle and to the cartilage of the
first rib, (2) the dense portion termed the stylo-maxillary ligament,
(3) an offshoot which forms the carotid sheath, (4) a thin layer which
passes in front of the trachea and thyreoid gland, and (5) a process
which is continuous with the fibrous portion of the pericardium.
Posteriorly, it passes back to form the pre vertebral f. [L, 142,
172, 332.] Deep f. Lat., /. aponeurotica. A membranous cov-
ering of muscles, also furnishing sheaths for the deep vessels and
surfaces from which other muscles arise. [L.] Deep f. of the

perineal f. Lat., /. perincei. profunda (seu media, seu propria).
Fr., aponevrose perineale profonde. Ger., mittlere Mittelfleisch-
aponeurose. The deep layer of the perineal f., a triangular, two-
layered f. (the triangular ligament of the urethra) which fills in
the front part of the outlet of the pelvis, lying on the deep surface
of the crura of the penis and bulb of the urethra. Between the
two layers are found the membranous portion of the urethra, the
dorsal vein of the penis, Cowper's glands and their ducts, the sub-
pubic ligament, the pudic vessels and nerves, and the artery and
nerve of the bulb. The inferior (anterior) layer is attached on each
side to the rami of the ischium and pnbes ; below, its base is con-
tinuous with the superior layer and the edge of the superficial
perineal f., being connected to the central point of the perinaeum ;
and above, its apex is attached to the lower surface of the symphy-
sis pubis and the subpubic ligament. The superior (posterior)
layer is separated into two halves by the urethra, just in front of
the prostate gland. It unites below with the inferior layer, is con-
tinuous on each side with the pelvic and anal f., and covers the
outer portion of the prostate gland. In the female this last layer
is divided by the vagina. [L, 142, 172. 332.] Diophthalmic f.
See BINOCULUS. Dorsal f. The f. of the back. [L.] Dorsal f.

arcuate ligament, and, as it descends upon the psoas muscles, is at-
tached to the intervertebral cartilages, the bodies of the vertebrae,
the fibrous arches through which the lumbar arteries pass, and the
sacrum. Externally it is attached to the inner lip of the crest of
the ilium, and internally to the brim of the pelvis, where it blends
with the periosteum. Below, it is prolonged down into the thigh,
forming, in part, the femoral sheath. On the outer side of the
femoral vessels it unites with the transversalis f. and the f. lata, and
is attached to Poupart's ligament. Internally to the vessels, it is
attached to the ilio-pectineal line, and joins with the f . lata. 2. The

aponevrose lumbodor&ale. A dense fibrous structure from which a
portion of the transversalis abdominis muscle arises. At the pos-
terior margin of the latter it divides into three layers, the anterior,
middle, and posterior. The anterior is attached to the ilio-lumbar
ligament, to the crest of the ilium, and to the front of the trans-
verse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, along the inner border of
the quadratus lumborum muscle. Superiorly it forms the internal
arched ligament of the diaphragm, and at its outer border it unites
with the middle layer. The middle layer (posterior aponeurosis of
the transversalis muscle) is attached above to the lower border of
the last rib. to the tips of the transverse processes of the lumbar
vertebrae, and to the ilio-lumbar ligament and the crest of the ilium.
In front it unites with the anterior layer, and behind, at the outer
edge of the erector spinae, with the posterior layer. The superficial
or posterior layer is attached to the tips of the spinous processes of
all the lumbar vertebrae and of a varying number of the lower dor-
sal vertebrae, and is united in front with the latissimus clorsi and ser-
ratusposticus inferior muscles. Between the anterior and middle
layers is the quadratus lumborum muscle, and between the middle
and posterior is the erector spinaa muscle. [L, 142, 172, 832.] Mas-
Heterlc f. Lat.,/. masneterica. Fr., aponevrose masseterine. A
layer of f. continuous with the deep cervical, the parotid, and the

FASCIA. (DRAWN BY DR. H. MACDONALD.)
332.] Palmar f. Lat.,/. palmaris.f. volaris. Ger., Handsehne,
Hohlhandsehne , Hohlhandfascie. Palmar fascie. A stout f. con-
sisting largely of longitudinal fibres lying beneath the skin of the
palm of the hand. It con-
sists of two lateral por-
tions, and a central por-
tion to which the term
palmar f. is by some re-
stricted. The lateral por-
tions are thin ; they cover
the muscles of the ball of
the thumb and of the lit-
tle finger, and are united
with the central portion.
The latter is thick, and is
derived from the expan-
sion of the palmaris lon-
gus muscle and the ante-
rior annular ligament. It
becomes broader and
thinner as it passes down
in the hand, and divides
at the heads of the meta-
carpal bones into four
parts, each of which
passes to one of the fin-
gers. Each one of these
again divides into two
parts (between which are
situated the flexor ten-
dons), which are inserted,
one on each side, into the
sides of the first phalanx.

covering of the pectoral region. [L.] Pelvic f. Lat., /. pelveos,
f. pelvis, f. pelvina. Ger., Beckenfascie, obere Mittelfleischaponeu-
rose. The fibrous structure which lines the interior of the pelvic
cavity, covering the muscles and supporting the viscera. It is at-
tached to the lower border of the symphysis pubis, to a portion of
the lateral brim of the pelvis, to the anterior surface of the coccyx,
and to the inner surface of the innominate bone around the attach-
ment of the obturator internus. It divides on each side at the level
of a line extending between the lower margin of the symphysis
pubis and the spine of the ischium into the obturator and recto- vesi-
cal fasciae, the line of division being indicated by a thickened white
band, the arcus tendineus fasciae pelveos. [L. 142, 172, 332.] Peri-

Plantar f. Lat., /. plantaris. Fr., aponevrose plantaire. Ger.,
Plantarfascie. The deep f . of the sole of the foot. It is a dense,
white structure consisting mainly of longitudinal fibres, and is di-
vided into two lateral portions and one central portion, the lines of
division being indicated by two vertical intermuscular septa which
include between them the flexor brevis digitorum muscle, separat-
ing it on one side from the abductor hallucis, and on the other from
the abductor minimi digiti. The central portion is attached poste-
riorly to the inner tuberosity of the os calcis, and becomes broader
as it passes down upon the foot to a point opposite the middle of
the metatarsal bones, where it divides into five slips, one for each
toe. Each slip divides into two others near the heads of the meta-
tarsal bones, between which the flexor tendons pass, and which
are inserted into the sides of the metatarsal bones, the transverse
metatarsal ligament, the sheaths of the tendons, and the integu-
ment. The lateral portions are thinner than the central, are con-
tinuous with the dorsal f. of the foot, and envelop the abductor
minimi digiti muscle on one side, and the abductor pollicis muscle
on the other. [L, 31, 142, 172.] Preyertebral f. Lat.,/. prcever-
tebralis. A portion of the deep cervical f . which separates the pre-
vertebral muscles from the oesophagus and pharynx. It assists in
forming the carotid sheath, and descends upon the subclavian ves-

ing separated from the obturator f . by the origin of the levator ani
muscle, and from the inner (peritoneal) surface of the obturator f .,
and posteriorly is continuous with the f. of the pyriformis. It
passes down upon the surface of the levator ani muscle, to the
prostate gland, the bladder, and the rectum, and, passing between
the two latter, invests the vesiculae seminales and unites with its
fellow of the opposite side, covering, in part, the upper surface of
the rectum. Behind the symphysis pubis it forms a thickened band
which passes down upon the upper surface of the prostate gland
and the neck of the bladder, forming the pubo-prostatic ligament.
Laterally it forms the lateral true ligaments of the bladder. In the
female the vagina is covered in part by that portion which in the
male passes over the neck of the bladder and the prostate gland.

tegument of the abdomen, and continuous behind with the dorsal
f. The external layer is thin, and contains in its meshes a con-
siderable quantity of fat. In the inguinal region it is separated
from the deep layer by the circumflex iliac and superficial epigas-
tric arteries and by lymphatic glands. The deep layer is loosely
connected with the subjacent muscles. Along the linea alba and at
the umbilicus it is closely united with the aponeurosis beneath it.
Below, it gives off the suspensory ligament of the penis, passes over
Poupart's ligament, and unites with the f. lata, except over the
external abdominal ring, where it descends over the spermatic cord
and forms the dartos. [L, 142, 172, 332.] Superficial perineal f.
Lat., /. perincei superficialis. Fr., aponevrose perineale superfi-
cielle. Ger., untere Mittelfleischaponeurose. A two-layered f.

and the superficial fasciae of the adjoining parts. The deep layer
(the one to which the term is usually restricted) is continuous with
the dartos, is attached to the rami of the pubes and ischium as far
back as the tuberosity, and at the posterior margin of the trans-
versus perineei muscle passes back to unite with the deep peri-
neal f . In the middle line it sends off a vertical septum toward the
urethra, and continues forward into the middle line of the scrotum.

which connects the lids with the margin of the orbits and shuts off
communication between the connective-tissue space of the lids
and the orbital cavity. It is attached to the orbital margin,
usually to its inner lip. especially on the upper and lower margin,
and is intimately connected with the periosteum on the one hand
and the capsule of the eyeball on the other ; also, at the canthi,
with the internal and external or canthal ligaments, extending
behind the latter to the canthi. It is prolonged to the upper
border of the tarsi of the upper lids and the lower border or the
tarsi of the lower lids, where it is firmly united. [F, 1.] Tem-

vessels, it is attached to Poupart's ligament, where it is continuous
with the iliac f . and the periosteum of the crest of the ilium ; on
their inner side to the pubes and the ilio-pectineal line. It fur-
nishes a prolongation which forms the anterior portion of the
crural sheath. About half way between the anterior superior
spine of the ilium and the spine of the pubes, and half an inch
above Pouparfs ligament,- is an opening, the internal abdominal
ring, to the margin of which is attached the infundibuliform f.

gious and parasitic skin disease in man and other animals produced
by the Achorion Schonleinii (q. v.). In its most usual form it is char-
acterized by yellow, rounded, musty-smelling crusts within and
upon the skin, varying in size from that of a pin-head to that of the
finger-nail, each of which presents a concave surface above and a
corresponding convexity of the surface beneath. The disea e may
affect the skin, the hair, or the nails. Its most usual situation is
the scalp, where it is attended with loss of the hair, which, when
the disease is long-continued, may be permanent in consequence of
cicatrization or atrophy of the affected skin. Sometimes, espe-
cially when occurring elsewhere than upon the hairy scalp, it ap-
pears in the form of spreading, vesicular rings, or scaly, rounded
patches, resembling the vesicular or macular form of ringworm,
but which are usually followed by the formation, at certain points,
of the characteristic yellow crusts. [G, 5, 7.] Epidemic f. F.

The tegumentary covering peculiar to birds, which serves as a pro-
tective covering and assists in flight. They "are evolved within
sacs from the surface of conical papillae of the dermis," and typi-
cally consist of a quill, shaft, and vane. The quill (calamus), or
barrel, is a hollow, semi-transparent tube imbedded in the integu-
ment, and contains a pitch-like substance, the dried-up papilla. It
is continuous with the shaft (rhachis), which is a four-sided prism
tapering very gradually to a point, and has a well-defined longi-
tudinal groove upon its inferior surface. It consists of an external
horny sheath, within which is a white spongy substance resembling
the pith of a plant. Projecting upon each side are the vexilla
(vanes), which are made up of the narrow, flat laminae termed
barbs. At the union of the quill and shaft a small f . (aftershaft,
hyporhachis) is very often found. [L. 147, 221.] Arrested fs.

of citric acid in aqueous solution are neutralized with an excess of
ammonia (forming ammonium citrate) ; and to this the freshly
prepared ferric pyrophosphate is added, and the resulting solution
is evaporated. The product is in the form of bottle-green scales,
having but little taste, and soluble in water. [B, 113.] Pj-roplios-

FERACONITINE, n. Fe 2 r-a 2 k-o 2 n'i 2 t-en. Syn.: pseudaconi-

be identical with aconitine, but afterward described under various
names acraconitine (Ludvvig. 1869), napelline (Wiggers, 1857), and
nepalline (Fluckiger, 1869). According to Groves (1870-1874), it
exists in two modifications one crystalline, but yielding uncrystal-
lizable salts, the other amorphous'. The latter becomes sticky in
boiling water, while the former coheres and becomes plastic only
if treated with boiling water immediately after having been pre-
cipitated by ammonia. [B, 81 (a, 21).]

acid, heating the mixture with nitric acid till nitrous fumes are
no longer evolved, and adding water up to the required amount.
The U. S. preparation is made with 40 parts per hundred of the
liydrated ferrous sulphate, corresponding to 8 of iron, which by
this process are converted into 28 7 parts of ferric sulphate. The
Br. preparation contains originally 50 parts of the ferrous sul-
phate, corresponding to 10 of iron, which are converted into 36 of
ferric sulphate. The Ger. preparation is of the same strength as
the Br. The solution is a clear, dark reddish or yellowish-brown,
strongly astringent liquid, of acid reaction, and of the sp. gr. of

The mass contains about half its weight of ferrous carbonate. In
the Fr. process the mass is divided into pills, one third its weight of
licorice powder being first added, and each pill is made to weigh
25 centigrammes, corresponding to 9 centigrammes (li grain) of
ferrous carbonate. The Br. preparation is made by mixing 4 parts
of saccharated iron carbonate with 1 part of confection of rose. It
has about the same amount of iron as the U. S. preparation, but
part of the ferrous carbonate is replaced by ferric oxide. The Ger.
preparation resembles the U. S. and Fr. preparations, but sodium
bicarbonate is employed instead of the carbonate, is made up with
honey, sugar, and marsh-mallow (Althaea) root into pills each of
which contains 2J- centigrammes of iron (i. e., about 5 centigrammes
[i grain] of ferrous carbonate). [B.J Mistura ferri aromatica

red corpuscles and crystals of haemoglobin are found ; the pres-
ence of the latter seems to be due to the rapid destruction of the
red corpuscles by the malarial micro-organism. The disease is of
brief duration ; energetic treatment may stop the destruction of
the red corpuscles and the microbial ptomaine formation ; other-

Syn. : ague. A form of malarial f . in which the premonitory symp-
toms are a feeling of malaise and restlessness with yawning and
finally facial pallor, blue lips, cold skin, and a chill that is more or
less pronounced in conformity with the physical character of the
person affected. Succeeding the chill there are high f., a rapid
pulse, and muscular pains, especially severe in the loins and the
calves of the legs ; this condition continues for some hours, when
defervescence occurs and perspiration indicates a return of the
system to an apparently normal condition. In cases that are not
treated there is a return of the febrile paroxysm in one day (.quo-
tidian f.), two days (tertian f.), three days (quartan f.), four days
(quintan f.), five days (sextan f.), six days (septan f.), seven days
(octan f.). eight days (nonan f.), or nine days (deciman f.) ; and
irregular types occur in which there are double paroxysms on
certain days. There is also a masked form, in which, instead of
a chill, there is a neuralgia, as of the supra-orbital nerve in brow-
ague, or of the intercostal nerve in pleurodynia. or of the sacral
nerves in lumbago ; or there is some other manifestation of peri-
odical irritation, such as vomiting, the f. following these parox-
ysms as usual ; or in some cases, with malarial intermittent neu-
ralgia, f . is either mild or absent. The f . lasts a variable time, in
proportion to the thoroughness of quinine medication. Many sup-
posed cases of reinvasion of the malarial poison are manifestations
of increased activity of the malarial organism that has not been
destroyed in the blood, [a, 34.] Intermittent f. from mor-
phine. An intermitting pyrexia, of quotidian or tertian type,
that occurs occasionally in morphine-eaters. Though the spleen is

use of morphine is discontinued. fMurchison, " Lancet," May 3,

difficulty of respiration (febris asthnmtica), or ha?morrhage ; it is
not unusual, in marshy countries in hot latitudes, to see several of

cidives Fieber. An infectious f., produced by the Spirillum Ober-
meieri, that occurs epidemically in overcrowded and underfed
communities. The stage of incubation lasts about five days, a chill
ushering in a f., with violent headache, pain in the loins and ex-
tremities, anorexia, nausea, and general malaise. The f. is high
reaching 106 F. ; the skin is dry and becomes of a dirty -yellow
color, and patches of purpura may form in severe cases. The
tongue is dry and thickly coated ; the liver and spleen enlarge.
These symptoms persist for from five to seven days, when the tem-
perature falls, perspiration is free, and the patient feels well. But
in an interval of about a week a second attack occurs, lasting about
five days, and subsequent relapses may occur several times. In the
severe form, known as bilious typhoid f .. the icterus is more intense,
and petechiae are found on the skin. In ordinary cases the dis-
ease is benign ; fatal cases seem due to bad hygienic surroundings,
lack of treatment, or pulmonic or renal complications, [a, 34.]
Relapsing intermittent f. An intermittent f. in which the
paroxysms cease as a result of treatment, but slight exposure or
excitement causes a recurrence of the f. fa, 34.] Relapsing re-

first attack, [a, 34.] Remittent African f. See African f.
Remittent f. Lat., febris remittens. Fr., fievre remittente
(ou bilieuse des climats intertropicaux). Ger., remittirendes (oder
nachlassendes, oder bosartiges endemisches [oder locales]) Fieber.
A form of malarial f. ushered in by a chill, succeeded by a f.
of high temperature, with rapid pulse and respiration, pain in
the head and muscles, injection of the capillaries of the cheeks
and of the conjunctiva, a tongue coated grayish-white, great
thirst and vomiting of any liquid shortly after drinking, and gen-
eral mental and physical malaise. This condition persists as long
as sixteen hours, when defervescence gives a few hours 1 relief
from the more active symptoms, to be succeeded by their recur-
rence. In the progress of the f. the remissions may be so brief
that the f. resembles continued f., or they may become so long
that it simulates intermittent f. Besides the interference with
the functions of the stomach, the liver is congested, and there
may be vomiting of biliary matter, or bile-pigment in the urine,
or jaundice. The spleen is enlarged and tender on percussion.
The urine is decreased in quantity, but increased in specific grav-
ity. In the early stages of the disease there is usually constipa-
tion ; but, especially in marshy regions, diarrhoea and subsequently
dysentery from an acute entero-colitis may supervene. Without
the slightest intimation, and not infrequently, in paludal localities
the disease passes into congestive or pernicious malarial f., or into
hsemorrhagic or haematuric malarial f ., and malarial cachexia may
follow in any case. The average duration of the f. in ordinary
cases under treatment is from ten to fifteen days, though some un-
complicated cases may last over thirty days. There is a suscepti-
bility to frequent recurrences of the f. in those that have once had
it and remain exposed to the same influences, fa, 34.] Remitting

up clothing or toys, though so far the micro-organism that causes
the disease has not been isolated. The period of incubation
rarely exceeds a week, the pyrexia is high, the pulse is very
rapid, the skin is dry and rough, and there is nausea. On the
second day there is a red eruption appearing first on the breast
and spreading rapidly over the entire body ; it is most intense
about the joints. There are considerable irritation and circum-
scribed tumefaction of the skin. With the cutaneous eruption there
are redness of the pharyngeal region and pain on swallowing, and
a diphtheroid membrane with superficial ulcerations may be ob-
served in the fauces : the membrane may extend into the larynx.
The tongue, at first thickly coated, becomes very red, with promi-
nent papillae ; in severe cases it becomes dry, and eventually brown-
ish. There may be delirium and convulsions from the beginning of
the f. The eruption grows fainter on the fourth or fifth day,
desquamation ensuing shortly ; in some cases the eruption may be
absent, only congested fauces occurring with the f., though desqua-

phvsu-.il prostrat ion and often diarrhea that lasts for some time.
The cervical lymphatic glands enlarge during the pharyngeal in-
namniation. and they may suppurate during desquama ion. The
extension of the false membrane from the throat into the Lustach an

f. characterized by adynamic symptoms. 2. A continued infec-
tious f . due to the introduction into the organism, by the respira-
tory passages or by food or drink, of the typhoid bacillus. The
multiplication of this organic ferment produces in susceptible in-
dividuals, of any age or social station, an initial stage of languor,
anorexia, and general nervous depression, culminating in a chill
followed by f., which gradually increases during the first week
(stage of increase), then remains at about the same height for a
week or more (stage of acme), and then begins gradually to decline
(stage of decrease [or defervescence]). The f. shows a morning
remission and evening exacerbation. Shortly after the seventh
day of the f. a red macular eruption resembling 1 flea-bites usually
appears on the abdomen, there is tympanites, and pressure over
the right iliac region produces pain and a gurgling sound. The
anorexia may be associated with nausea, the intestinal evacuations
become watery and assume the appearance of pea-soup, and there
is great debility. There are stupor and mental dullness and confu-
sion : occasionally asthmatic, apoplectoid, or epileptoid symptoms
are present, the entire nervous system manifesting the toxic influ-
ence of the ptomaines that are formed. There may he haemorrhage
from the nose, stomach, or bowels. The spleen is enlarged. At
about the twenty -first day of the disease the pyrexia lias disappeared
in favorable cases, and an improvement in the nervous and gastro-
intestinal symptoms begins. In some cases the f. is protracted for
si imc weeks, while in others there seems t<> be no resistance, and a
fatal termination occurs early. Before the discovery of the typhoid
bacillus, tvphoid f., as an entity, rested on definite lesions'of the
closed follicles of 1'eyer's patches and of the solitary glands of the
ileiim. The bacilli seem to have a special affinity for these lym-
phatic structures, producing cell infiltration, necrobiosis of tissue,
and eventually the production of ulcers that may, instead of cica-

1. Of J. J. Woodward, a f. initiated by a chill that is succeeded by
pyrexia remittent in character at first, but gradually becoming con-
tinuous toward the end of the first week ; there are nausea, bilious
vomiting, diarrhoea, and mental lethargy present at an early date.
The face becomes pale, sallow, jaundiced, and emaciated ; the tongue
is moist, sometimes dry ; the spleen is enlarged ; the debility in-
creases, and toward the end of the third week: the patient enters
upon a protracted convalescence, unless death from exhaustion has
terminated the case earlier. The rose-colored eruption of typhoid
f . is not present, and in fatal cases the usual lesions present in ma-
larial cases are found, while the solitary and agminated glands of
the ileum are simply enlarged. It was believed that the micro-
organisms of typhoid and malarial fs were present in the same
individual, and recent bacteriological research seems to confirm
the correctness of this supposition. The disease was described
by Drake and others (see Remittent typhus f.). 2. An asthenic

Fr., typhus, flevre carceraire. Ger., exanthematischer Typhus,
Fleckfleber. It., Sp., tifo. A contagious, continued f. ; formerly
epidemically prevalent in camps, hospitals, jails, and a crowded
population. The symptoms are a brief prodromal stage with lassi-
tude, dejection, and occasional chilliness ; at the invasion the f . is
high, the pulse full at first but subsequently frequent and compressi-
ble, the skin dry ; the tongue is furred, subsequently brown and dry,
the face flushed ; the patient is drowsy and in a state of mental
hebetude, and there is a very unpleasant odor from the body. A red
eruption appears on the skin between the fourth and seventh day,
the spots at first disappearing on pressure, but subsequently being
persistent until the fourteenth day. The flushed face, injected con-
junctivse, contracted pupils, mental obtuseness with a tendency to
coma, tremors, subsultus, and general physical and mental pros-
tration, indicate the profound impression the materies morbi makes
upon the organism. The duration of the f . is from ten to twenty-one
days, the temperature usually ranging above 104 F., with but little
difference between the morning and evening temperature until
defervescence is reached. The latter occurs suddenly (by crisis).
The f . is not infrequently complicated with other diseases. In the
dead body no specific lesions are found. From the eruption the f.
derived its old names of spotted f., lenticular f., pulicular f., etc.;
and the constant affection of the nervous system gave it the name
of nervous f., low nervous f., etc. [a, 34.] Uniform f. Simple

jaune (ou d'Amerique, ou bilieuse d^Amerique). Ger., Gelbfleber,

amarilla, vomito prieto. An acute infectious f . occurring endemic-
ally in the West India islands and Central and South America dur-
ing the warm months, although sporadic cases may appear at any
time during the year. It appears to be due to a specific organism,
not yet discovered, that is transmitted by air, water, ballast, food,
or clothing. The active manifestation of the disease is preceded
by malaise of brief duration : the initial chill is rarely severe, and
the temperature subsequently rises to about 104 F. ; as a rule,
the pulse is slow and not commensurate with the pyrexia, there
are headache and lumbago, the tongue is usually clean, the stom-
ach is irritable, and the vomitted matter, at first mucus, becomes
black, resembling coffee-grounds. The urine early in the disease
becomes albuminous. As the f. progresses, there may be haemor-
rhage from the eyes, nose, gums, bowels, kidneys, or uterus. Jaun-
dice comes on, and there is decided physical prostration. Suppres-
sion of urine occurs in severe cases, with the usual uraemic con-
vulsions ; where these and free black vomit are observed, the
result is apt to be fatal. Convalescence is slow, and indiscretion in
diet, exposure, or gratification of the exaggerated sexual desire
that is sometimes present in adults, will bring on a serious relapse.

According to some authors, they are all connected so that in reality
there is nut one long complexly coiled filament. According to
others, there are many closely intertwined f s forming a network.
There seems to be reason for believing also that the nuclear fs are
of two kinds : coarse f s, forming a comparatively wide mesh ; work,
and very fine f s, forming an exceedingly fine network in the
meshes of the coarse network. To distinguish these two forms of
nuclear network the term primary nuclear f s is sometimes re-
stricted to the coarse, and secondary nuclear f s to the fine net-
work. [J, 15, 80 ; " Arch. f. mikr. Anat.." 1878-1884 ; "Jena. Zeit.,"

Wooldridge ("Proc. of the Roy. Soc.," April 6, 1886) describes four
varieties of f.: A-f., a proteid-lecithin compound, separable under
the form of rounded granules from the blood-plasma by cooling ;
-B-/., a proteid-lecithin compound forming the bulk of the f. of the
blood and coagulable by the addition of lecithin or of leucocytes
from the lymphatic glands ; C-f., the f. of Schmidt, which is the
only variety coagulable by the fibrin-f., but which exists in the blood
in very minute quantities ; a variety found in the lymph-serum of
the lymphatic glands, closely related to A-f., and differing from it
in having the power of causing coagulation of the blood while in
the vessels. According to Wooldridge, coagulation is a physical
process allied to crystallization, consisting essentially in a loss of
lecithin by A-f to B-f., which is thus converted into fibrin. [B ; K.]

Guinea worm ; an animal parasite of the human body indigenous to
the western coast of Africa, to Guinea, Senegal, India, Arabia,
Persia, Egypt, and occasionally elsewhere. The female alone is
known, and is from 1 to 13 feet in length, *fa inch in diameter, cylin-
drical throughout its length, with a flat head, a blunt tail, and an
oral aperture surrounded by four crucially placed papillae. Its seat
is in the subcutaneous cellular tissue in various parts of the body,
most commonly of the feet or legs. Formerly it was supposed that
it gained entrance to the skin by boring from without ; but, accord-
ing to late authorities, the parasite is introduced into the system
probably by drinking impure water containing minute Crustacea,
in which the embryos of the fllaria pass through the larval state.
From the alimentary canal the young worm is supposed to make
its way to the cellular tissue. By some its parasitism is regarded
as accidental. The presence of the worm in the skin manifests
itself by the production of a painful tumor, blister, or furuncle.
Sometimes severe inflammation, with ulceration or gangrene, occurs,
accompanied with constitutional disturbance. It is supposed to be
the fiery serpent which attacked the Israelites in the vicinity of the
Red Sea (Numb., xxi, 6). 2. The disease caused by the F. medi-

FILARIA SANGUINIS (HOMINIS.)
embryos are alone known. The former is 5 to 6 ctm. in length, the
body hair-like and of uniform diameter, the neck narrow, the head
with a circular oral aperture, and the vulva near the head. They
have been found, in several instances, in glandular swellings and in
water. The embryos are less than 0'35 mm. long, with a rounded
head and sharp tail, and are found in the urine and blood of pa-
tients affected with chyluria and haematuria. They are said to
occur in the blood only at night. Their development is not clear,
but it is believed that mosquitoes, in extracting blood from man,
ingest at the same time these embryos, which, after becoming
somewhat developed, escape into water at the time the mosquitoes
deposit their eggs ; and then, again entering the alimentary canal
of man with the water, pass into the circulation, and thence escape
into the connective tissue, where they attain their adult form. [L.

From filix, a fern. Of Presl, an order of the Filicineae, comprising
the Helicogyratai and Cathetogyratce, and subsequently a subclass
of the FilicinecB, consisting of the same divisions as before, and, in
addition, the Pleurogyratce. The Filicaceites of Sternberg are an
order of fossil ferns consisting of the Gleicheniacites, Aspidiaceites,
Adiantaceites, Polypodiacites, etc. The Filicariece of Dumortier
are an order of the Dermogynce, consisting of the Ophioglossinece
and Filices. The Filicece are: 1. Of Necker, an order of plants in-
cluding Equisetum, Acrostichum, etc. ; of Dumortier, a family of
the Arcania, including Pteris, etc. 2. Of Bridel, a tribe of Musci,
consisting of the genus Fissidens. The Filices (Fr.,fougeres : Ger.,
Fame, Farren, Farnkrauter, Farrnkrauter, Farrenkrduter) are :
1. The ferns, one of the principal groups of cryptogams ; of Lin-
naeus, a group comprising Ophioglossum, Osmunda, Pteris, Tricho-
manes, Adiantum, Lonchitis, Asplenium, etc., or (Roth) the Exan-
nulatce (Osmunda and Ophioglossum) and Annulatce (Onoclea,
Polypodium, Pteris, etc.). The ferns are plants with solid, mostly
unbranching, or but sparingly branching, stems, which increase in
length by the division of a single apical cell. The leaves are more
highly developed than in the other vascular cryptogams ; the fibro-
vascular bundles are of the concentric type ; the sporangeia are
always borne on the leaves, either at the margins or on the lower
surface, generally in groups or clusters called sort. The sporangeia
are cellular sacs inclosing usually a considerable number of spores.
The ferns are variously classed by modern botanists. In Hooker's
system they are divided into the Gleicheniachece, Polypodiaceai,
Osmundacece, Schizacece, Marattiacew, and Ophioglossacece ; by
others into the Ophioglossacece, Marattiacece, and Polypodiacece,
of which the first two, known as pseudo-ferns, have the spore-cases
ringless, while the latter, with the spore-cases having a jointed
ring, contain the true ferns, and include the greater portion of all
the known species. In some modern classifications the Filices are
a group of the Filiciniece, and represent the true ferns. 2. Of Wig-
gers (1780), an order of cryptogams restricted to the EpiphyUo-
spermce, including Ophioglossum and Osmunda. The Filicina of
Batsch are a family of the CMorophylla, comprising Osmunda,
Acrostichum. Asplenium. etc. The Filicince of Gleditsch are a
class of plants including Equisetum, Osmunda, Ophioglossum,
Pteris, Lonchites, Adiantum, Asplenium, Polypodium, Tricho-
manes, Blechnum, etc., or iaPerleb's system including theDiclidop-
terides, Epiphyllospermce, and Thylacopterides, or (Leunis) the
LycopodiacecK and Filices. The Filicinece are: Of Presl, a class
of plants including the Filicacece, Hymenophyllacecz, Marattiacece,
OsmundacecR, and OphioglossacecK ; of Brongniart, a class of aero-
gens, including the Filices, Marsiliacece, Lycopodiacece, Equiseta-

apparatus, passes through a stopper in the second neck. The air
is exhausted from the bottle, and the pressure of the external air
on the fluid in the filter hastens filtration. ReaVs pressure-f con-
sists of two metallic cylindrical vessels end to end, one above the
other, separated by a perforated diaphragm. The lower vessel
contains a water-cock ; the upper one is closed, the cover contain-
ing a tube 10 to 13 metres high, terminating in a reservoir The

A straight tube open at both ends is inserted through the second
opening, and its lower end placed on a level with the height of the
liquid to be reached in the funnel. The siphon is filled by carefully
blowing through the straight tube, after which f. proceeds without
further attention. ["Am. Jour, of Pharm.," June, 1887, p. 291 (a,

Armmuskel, Beuger des Vorderames. The large muscle which oc-
cupies the anterior surface of the arm. It arises by two tendons,
the one (the short, or inner, head) from the apex of the coracoid
process of the scapula, and the other (the long, or outer, head) from
the margin of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the glenoid liga-
ment, passing through the joint inclosed in a sheath of synovial
membrane, and perforating the capsular ligament to descend in
the bicipital groove. The two muscular prolongations of the ten-
dons unite about the middle of the arm to form a fleshy fusiform
mass, which terminates above the elbow in a flat tendon, which is
inserted into the posterior portion of the tuberosity of the radius.
Opposite the elbow a flat fibrous process is given off, which unites
with the fascia of the forearm. By some anatomists it is regarded
as being made up of four distinct muscles the coraco-radialis, the
coraco-ulnaris, tne gleno-radialis, and the gleno-ulnaris. [L.] Bi-

at muscle situated in the middle of the forearm beneath the f .
carpi ulnaris, f . carpi radialis, and the f . palmaris longus and pro-
nator radii teres. It arises by three heads, the one from the inter-
nal condyle of the humerus, the internal lateral ligament, and the
adjacent intermuscular septa ; the second arises from the inner
margin of the coronoid process of the ulna ; and the third from the
oblique line of the radius above the pronator radii teres. By some
authorities the radial origin is regarded as one head, and the
others as a second. About the middle of the forearm it divides
into four tendons which are arranged in pairs, the most anterior
going to the middle and ring fingers, and the posterior to the index
&
and little fingers. They pass through the same compartment of
the anterior annular ligament of the wrist, with and above the ten-
dons of the f. digitorum manus profundus. Upon the palm of the
hand they diverge to pass to their appropriate insertions, each be-
ing contained together with the corresponding tendon of the f
digitorum profundus in a fibrous sheath. Opposite the first pha-
langes each divides into two parts, which embrace the correspond-
ing tendon of the f. digitorum profundus and unite posterior to it.
Shortly after their union they again separate and are inserted on
each side into the margins of the second phalanges. It is a f of
the second phalanges. [L, 31, 142, 172, 332.] F. digitorum pe-
dis brevis, F. digitorum pedis communis brevis. Fr.,

thin muscle of the sole of the foot lying immediately beneath the
plantar fascia. It arises from the inner tuberosity of the os calcis,
the deep surface of the plantar fascia, and the septa between it
and the adjacent muscles. About opposite the middle of the sole
of the foot it divides into four bellies which shortly become ten-
dinous. Opposite the middle of the first phalanges each tendon is
pierced by the tendon of the f . digitorum pedis longus going to the
same toe ; it then divides into two slips, which are inserted into
the sides of the second phalanges of the four smaller toes. It
is a f. of the second phalanges of the toe. fL. 31, 142, 172, 332.]

dle two fourths of the posterior surface of the tibia internal to the
tibial origin of the tibialis posticus and from the septum between
it and the last muscle, becoming tendinous at the lower part of the
leg. Its tendon passes behind the internal malleolus in common
with that of the tibialis posticus and crosses the sole of the foot in
a forward and outward direction, to divide into four tendons which
pierce those of the f. digitorum brevis and are inserted into the
bases of the distal phalanges of the four smaller toes. [L, 31, 142,

Cerebro-spinal f. Lat., fluidum cerebro-spinale, liquor cere-

liquide arachno'idien. Ger., Cerebrospinal-Fliissigkeit. The liquid
in the subarachnoid space and in the coeles or ventricles and central
canal of the central nervous system. In man there is direct com-
munication for this liquid between the subarachnoid space and the
cerebral ventricles through the foramen of Magendie, and in all the
higher animals the fluid extends out with the cranial and spinal
nerves in the sheaths of the nerves. It is a form of lymph, and in
all animals communicates with the lymphatic system more or less
directly. In man the normal amount is supposed to be from 60 to
100 c. c., and probably serves to preserve the cerebral pressure under
varying conditions of blood-pressure in the brain. Its specific
gravity is about 1'005 ; it does not coagulate spontaneously, as a
rule, nor upon the addition of fibrin ferment, hence it is supposed
not to contain fibrinogen. It becomes opalescent but does not
coagulate by heat. According to Turner, it contains a body which,
like glucose, reduces cupric oxide. The composition of the fluid
obtained at the second puncture in a case of spina bifida was, ac-
cording to Hoppe-Seyler, as follows : Water, 986 88 ; solids, 13'12 ;
albumin, 2'64 ; extractives, 2'83 ; inorganic salts, soluble in water,
7'52 ; inorganic salts, insoluble. 1'15. [Turner. "Proc. of the Royal

escenz. The property possessed by some transparent bodies of
giving surface reflections of light differing in color from that of
their own mass ; a phenomenon due to the fact that the light which
falls upon the substance is transformed into rays of a greater wave-
length. This change affects not only the visible rays, but also the
invisible rays beyond the violet end of the spectrum, which are
thus transformed into visible rays. F. is produced by concentrat-
ing light strongly upon the substance or by the action of heat and
electricity. It persists some time after the producing cause is with-
drawn (see PHOSPHORESCENCE). An analogous phenomenon to f.,
by which, however, rays of greater wave-length (ultra-red rays) are
transformed into those of less wave-length (visible rays within the
red), is calorescence (q. v.). [B, 21, 270.]

ment which has never been perfectly isolated, but is conjectured to
be a colorless gas. It occurs in nature in composition in the form
of fluor-spar and other minerals, and in minute quantities in the
bones, blood, brain, and enamel of the teeth. It was formerly
supposed to occur in the free state in the fluor-spar of AYc'iscndori'.
but this is now known to be untrue. F. combines with hydrogen
to form hydrofluoric acid, and unites directly with many other de-
ments to form a series of compounds called fluorides. In composi-
tion it is univalent, replacing one atom of hydrogen. Atomic
weight, 19-1 ; symbol, F. Its existence was first demonstrated by
Ampere in 1810. [B, 3, 270: J. Lucas. "Laneet," May 2-,'. issr, :

of the shaft is for a bandage around the thigh. [Stimson, " N. Y.
Med. Jour.," Jan. 3, 1885, p. 23 (a, 34).] Tuning f. An instrument,
usually of steel, consisting of a heavy two-pronged f. which, when
made to vibrate, emits a musical note of a definite pitch. It is used
in the diagnosis of ear diseases in testing the bone-conduction of
sounds, for which purpose the tuning f . is placed upon any desired
part of the head and set in vibration, when, if sounds are conducted
to the internal ear through the cranial bones, the note emitted will
be audible, and will be the louder and longer the more perfect the
bone-conduction is. The fact that any given tuning f. will always
when set in motion give the same number of vibrations in a second
renders it useful as a means of measuring minute intervals of time.
For this purpose the f . is placed in contact with a revolving black-
ened cylinder on which its vibrations are traced, or it is made to
carry a mirror the light reflected from which renders the excur-
sions of the f. visible. Blake's tuning f. has a rubber-tipped ham-
mer attached to the end of an elastic rod which is fastened to one
arm of the f. This arrangement, by fixing the distance through
which the hammer falls, renders it possible to produce a note of
uniform intensity. Tuning fs for diagnostic purposes often have
sliding clamps placed upon one or both arms, which have the effect
of diminishing the over-tones, and also permit the pitch of the tone
emitted to be altered. [B.]

FORMULA (Lat.). n. f. Form'u a l(ul)-a'. Dim. of forma. FT.,
formutr (J-r., >'.;/. It., formula. Su., formula. 1. In chem-
ist rv. an expression by symbols of the elementary constitution of
the" molecule of a substance. It consists essentially of letters,
each denoting one atom of one of the elementary substances,
with figures api>ended denoting the number of atoms present.
Collections of atoms which constitute a group by themselves
(radicle) are often separated by periods or i>arentheses from the
rest of the f. ; and in this case figures prefixed or appended to
the parenthesis or placed before an expression contained within
periods, are understood to apply to all the symbols embraced by
the parenthesis or periods. In all other cases, a figure prefixed to
a symbolical expression for a molecule is understood, like a co-
efficient in an algebraical f., to be a multiplier of all the symbols
which follow until a + or - sign is reached. The sign of addition
( + ) is used in chemical formula? to show that the substances whose
symbols it connects are placed together under such circumstances
as to produce a chemical reaction ; and the sign of subtraction (-)
denotes that a chemical reaction is produced by the removal from
one substance of the atoms which, if combined, would be desig-
nated by the symbols following the ( - ) sign. [B. ] 2. A prescription.
3. An enumeration of the ingredients of a pharmaceutical prepara-
tion, with precise directions for making it. 4. In general, a set
form for recording observations, etc. Abbreviated f. In chem-
istry, a number of expressions for the more frequently recurring
molecules, abbreviated so as to do away with the necessity of
parentheses in uniting chemical equations._ The most frequent ab-
breviations are : Am (ammonium), NH 4 ; A, the acetic-acid radicle,
(C,H.O,) : Cfg". the acid radicle of hydroferrocyanic acid and hydro-
f en-icy anic acid. = Fe(C,N,)., ; Cy. cyanogen, CN ; Ho for hydroxyl,
HO [although by some this symbol has been appropriated_for H a O
when it signifies a molecule of _water of crystallization] ; O for the
oxalic-acid radicle, "C?O 4 ; and T, the tartaric-acid radicle, "CH 4 O 9 .
[Clowes (B).l In some systems of notation other abbreviated sym-
bols are employed. Thus an initial letter designative of an element
with dots placed above it denotes that element combined with as
many equivalents of oxygen as there are dots, SO = SO S ; if commas
are superimposed, the symbol designates an element combined with
sulphur, Fe = FeS^. If a dash is drawn through the letter designa-
tive of the element, the equivalents of the latter are represented
thus : F.e = Fe,O,. A + sign superimposed designates a base or alka-
loid, thus M = morphine ; while a sign placed above an initial
letter denotes an acid : thus A, acetic acid, C, citric acid. But this
latter sign is usually employed, as above mentioned, to denote the
acid radicle and not the acid itself. [B.] Binary f. See Dualistic
f. Brenner's f. The expression of a relation observed in the

(B) ; J, 124, 184, 176.] General f. A chemical f . expressive of the
constitution of a series of related bodies, and containing one or
more letters which, like the symbols for unknown quantities in an
algebraic f., are capable of indefinite replacement. Thus the f.
Cn H 2n + 2 is the general f . of the paraffins, n being capable
of replacement by any whole number, and R"SO 4 is the general f.
for the normal sulphates, R" being capable of replacement by
any bivalent radicle. [B.] Glyptic f. A geometrical represen-

formule graphique. Ger., graphische Formel. A structural f.
in which the symbols denoting the elements are so connected by
lines or other conventional signs as to afford graphically a repre-
sentation of the mode in which the atoms constituting a mole-
cule are connected, the combining power of each, and the degree
to which the combining power_is satisfied. Thus the graphic f.
of potassium cyanide is K CEEN ; which shows that carbon (C)
is quadrivalent (denoted by the four lines in connection with it) ;
that it is connected by three bonds of union with nitrogen (N), which
is trivalent, and by one bond with potassium (K), which is univa-
lent ; and that, therefore, all the combining capacities are satisfied,
and the molecule is saturated (denoted by the absence of free bonds).
