Appearance of the urine in an acute, fatal case of Texas fever.Fig. 4. Red corpuscles, magnified 1,000 diameters, containing the parasite of Texas fever. This appears as a blue pointanear the edge of the corpuscle. The blood was taken from a skin incision. The case was nonfatal and occurred late in the fall.Fig. 5. Red corpuscles from the blood of an acute, fatal case, 20 hours before death. The Texas-fever microbesaare shown as pear-shaped bodies, stained with methylene blue, within the red corpuscles.
