    113. PoRRiGO Lupinosa. Model of the back and arm of a young woman, in whom the porriginous crusts have become exceed- ingly thick and rugged. They are represented in their several stages of formation. Diffused ecchymosis is shown over the scapula. 114. PoRRiGo Lupinosa. Model of the nates and back of the thighs of a young man, representing patches of porrigo in a very aggravated form. The crusts are from one to two inches in thickness, of a yellowish-brown colour, resembling patches of dried plaster. The health of this man was generally good, he had been in the habit of exhibiting himself; and having come into the hospital for another disease, left prematurely to avoid being cured of this eruption. 115. Porrigo? Model of the face of a man, presenting an eruption of porriginous character in a man who had had syphilis. ECTHYMA 116. Ecthyma Vulgare (vel Luridum). Model of the anterior part of the chest of a young person, representing ecthyma on the twelfth day of the eruption. The pustules are distinct and rounded, with inflamed bases, brownish scabs, in some parts dry and falling off. There is considerable inflammation in the neighbourhood of the pustules. 117. Ecthyma Luridum. Model of the anterior part of the chest, of the same patient, on the fifteenth day, in whom the inflam- matory zone is of a purplish colour. 118. Ecthyma Cachecticum. Model of the face of a woman, set. 29 years, who had a pustular eruption on the face. These pustules are isolated, and vary in size; some in process of formation, with more or less inflamed bases ; others larger, and drying into thick scabs. She was admitted into Charity Ward, under Mr. Morgan's care, in January, 1840, with ulcerated legs. A week after admission, the erup- tion first appeared on the face, head, and legs; afterwards the hands be- came affected, the body remaining perfectly free. The treatment con- sisted of iodide of potassium, alteratives, and anodynes. She left well.
