A child, twenty months old, had what appeared to be a simple case of herpes labialis, which had broken out six weeks before; it consisted of two small irregular shaped patches half an inch or more in diameter, commencing beneath the labial commissure, and extending towards the mesial line of the chin ; the crusts were thick, of a dirty yellowish-brown color, surrounded by an inflamed areola and suppurating border; I prescribed for my patient; when she returned at the expiration of two weeks, the patches had united in the centre, and extending downwards covered the entire chin, while surrounding its borders was an occasional pustule, denoting the invasion of the cheeks; the mother now informed me that the left hip was involved, and an examination of the part disclosed several patches and pustules extending from the anterior superior spine in an oblique direction, upwards and backwards towards the lumbar region ; the characteristic crusts had become detached by contact with the clothing, and in consequence it presented an angry and inflamed appearance, not at all unlike a well-defined case of herpes zoster; the new crop which was being developed, began by small pustules on an inflamed base, some of the size of a pin-head, others as large as a common pea, single and discrete at first, but as they approached each other, or where they were more numerous, inclining to become confluent; the least abrasion of the cuticle was transformed into a suppurating pustule. I prescribed Graphites, Hepar, Arsenicum, Merc, sol., and Mezereum, in various dilutions, from the 3d to 30th, and 200th potencies, for about two months, without the least apparent benefit; the eruption had now covered both cheeks, and several pustules on the nose, forehead, and neck foreshadowed its onward march, while the patch on the hip had extended to the spinal column ; the itching was very troublesome and persistent, and the child’s sleep much disturbed in consequence. The eldest boy (about twelve) had a well-defined case of herpes phlyctenules, as large as the palm of the hand, on the left side of the neck, from the ear in front to the spine behind, and extending from the hairy scalp down the neck about three inches. The other two children had small irregular patches ou the face and left arm ; and wherever the skin was abraded on the hands suppurating pustules were to be seen. I gave the three youngest a few doses of Camphor, and in a week the whole trouble had disappeared. I allowed the oldest boy to recover by the natural process of the drug, and the neck is not yet clear of the crusts, but there has been no increase of the symptoms since discontinuing the Sarsaparilla
