Eruptions, Moist. The eruption which now appeared was a modified pemphigus and was generalized over the whole body, commencing at the flexures of the joints. Where the skin was thin the bullae aborted but where it was thicker they were regularly raised and more or less lasting. The discharge from the patches deprived of their epidermis was excessive, of an offensive odor and very viscid.

Mild eruptive fever with inconsiderable general heat and moderate headache. An eruption quite like that of distinct variola comes out on the third day; it is purple-hued and not very well marked. In twelve hours it spreads, sinks down and each of its pustules becoming depressed, soon forms a petechial blotch, which then proceeds to enlarge itself, to be confounded with adjacent blotches and thus to become confluent.
