On the next day I found the eschar last made complete, and I passed the caustic over the ulcer to the extent of three inches more. On the succeeding day, the eschar was complete, adherent at those edges which adjoined the cuticle, and floating at the other edges over the ulcer, and in the latter part allowing the escape of matter; round the adherent edges of the eschar the inflammation had entirely disappeared, while it remained fiery as before round every other part of the ulcer. I continued my trials with the caustic in this case, but it gave so much pain, and I had so little hope of final success, that I altogether relinquished the attempt to treat these ulcers by eschar. Some of the small ulcers were healed, however, and the larger one assumed a more healthy character wherever the caustic had been applied. It may, therefore, remain a question whether the lunar caustic may not still prove useful in phagedenic ulcers of a smaller size. FINIS. T.
