Pericarditis scorbutica—a condition which has been observed mostly in Russia in recent times.

The whiteness of the heart would have been due to the fibrinous layer of lymph on its surface, from the pericarditis.

Inflammation of this sac, or pericarditis, is apt to occur as a result of rheumatism, more especially in children.

The same may be said of the endocarditis and pericarditis noted by several authors.
