    Sclerosis in the Pubic Region. Present Condition.—In the pubic region there is a sclerosis about the size of a hazelnut which is quite deep; the floor is cov- ered in part with pus and in part with pale granulations; the edges are sharp, tough and infiltrated, and surrounded by a zone of inflammation. The inguinal glands are greatly enlarged; the axillary and cervical, only moderately so. M. T., 34 years old, works in a gas-factory; admitted June 7, 1896. In the beginning of Ma}'^ a glowing piece of coke fell on the patient’s bare breast; in attempting to shake it out of his clothing he burnt himself in the pubic region. Two weeks later he had coitus. He had no suspicion of the true nature of his disease. On June 20th a dark-red, papular syphilide appeared on the body. Local treatment and twenty-five inunctions effected a cure.
