The glandular epithelium is greatly altered. Only rarely is itfound of normal columnar shape. In most parts it has becomecubical or even more flattened. As a rule one finds that the great-est changes are most marked in the outermost divisions of theglands. In many the cells are largely shed, either in large massesor in small groups. The cast off cells show various stages of de-generation. The outlines become irregular. In some the proto-plasm becomes finely granular ; in others it is swollen, staininglightly. Here and there masses are quite changed into hyalinematerial. In several gland-spaces, leucocytes h
