focus such as a ruptured vis-cus is exceedingly rapid and that it is virtually complete within
three hours. This is not im accord with the view of many clinicians, that the process may be
slow enough in some instances to permit limitation of the infection by the local formation of
fibroplastic exudate. That the extent and rapidity of spread may be subject to a num-ber of
variables, specifically the nature of the exudate, and the condition of the peritoneum …
