    Sclerosis on the Anterior Surface of the Scrotum. Present Condition.—On the scrotum, below the angle formed by the penis (penoscrotal angle), is seen a sclerosis a little larger than an almond. The surface is ulcerated, the base and edges infiltrated. The rest of the genital region, as well as the skin on the trunk and extremities, is covered with recent papules as large as lentils. The older of these papules already show desquamation on the surface. W. A., 28 years old, mail-driver; admitted Nov. 1,1895. The patient says he paid no attention to the sore on the scrotum at first. It began to be more noticeable four weeks ago; the erup- tion appeared only six days ago. After local treatment with gray ]:>lastcr and a course of twenty-five inunctions the sclerosis healed completely, the in- filtration at the base softened, and the eruption disappeared. Tlie patient was discharged on Dec. 2d, after thirty-two days’ treatment.
