    3rd. A small slough about the size of a i f i pin's head remains; but there is an ulcer of the size of a small pea, in the part from which the last slough had separated. A slight inflammation only around the ulcer. 6'thf The ulcer now about the size of a large pin’s head. It is a little cavity of this size in the membrane of the mouth. A slight inflammation around it. 11th. The ulcer is reduced to the size of • . .# a very small pin’s head. No inflammation around it. 13th. The ulcer perfectly healed; but a little hollow or depression, about the size of a pin's head, remains. August 7th. A small depression still remains. Exp. III. June 29th. I applied the lunar caustic to the inside of the cheek of a man aged forty-two, in the same manner as before related. It left on the part the same Avhite mark as in the former experiments, and gave no pain. July 1st. All the slough is separated, ex- cept a small portion about the size of a pin’s head; but there is an ulcer on the part, where the slough came away, which is just beginning to cicatrize. No inflammation around the ulcer.
