    Reprinted from the Bbitish Journal of Dermatology, Nos. 91, 92, Vol. 8.] ACUTE PEMPHIGUS: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ETIOLOGY OF THE ACUTE BULLOUS ERUPTIONS. By GEORGE PEBNET, L.R.U.P. Lond., M.R.C.S. Eng., It is not necessary in this place to insist on the complexity of the subject of Pemphigus ; nor would it serve any useful purpose to enter into a lengthy historical discussion of the various phases through which it has passed. In submitting the present paper to dermatologists, our object is to show that there is an acute bullous eruption (Acute Pemphigus) which affects butchers, that infection takes place through a wound, and that it is probably due to a specific micro-organism. Further, that, apart from butchers, the condition may arise in a similar way in those handling animals or animal products. The subject will be treated in three parts. I. Clinical. II. Bacteriology and Morbid Anatomy. III. General Conclusions. Part I. — Clinical. BY GEORGE PERNET. The first ease described is the one which came under our own observation. It is followed by seven other cases. and WILLIAM BULLOCH, M.D. Aberd., Bacteriologist in the British Institute of Preventive Medicine. Introductory Remarks. B
