With the help of Jews, who were able to act as intermediaries between the two cultures, Spain became a cultural melting pot.

Pronounced formation of granulomas or microabscesses and major (hyperdense) liver abscesses with cauliflowerlike druses may be due to haematogenous spread of the pathogen to the liver (portal vein, systemic circulation) or, occasionally, to direct encroachment on the liver. The abscess pus contains the typical so-called sulphur granules. Treatment consists of penicillin G (e.g. 2 X 10 million U/day i.v. for approximately 4 weeks), ampicil-lin, tetracycline, clindamycin or metronidazole. (131-141)...

Most of the measurements were carried out on crystals of many forms from Vesuvius, both in blocks of limestone and in druse in association with sanidine and pyroxenes. Hintze (1897) reported measurements also on crystals from the island of Langesund ord in Norway, Langban in Sweden and Lake Baikal in Siberia, and from the famous locality of Greenwood Furnace (New York, U.S.A.).
