The second species is distinguished by the paleness and imperfection of the granulations, whilst the discharge is tolerably good; but it never can be equal to that of the healthy ulcer; because, when one part of the action is affected, the other is also more or less affected. This species does not require any more particular observation or remark, because it is to be treated exactly as the first, of which it is often just a slighter degree, or a forerunner; for it is frequently the first change which takes place in a healthy ulcer. When it becomes diseased, it does not continue long; for both parts soon come to suffer in the same proportion; in which case, the ulcer belongs to the first species. For this reason, we never find old ulcers belonging to this species. Chronic ulcers sometimes induce a disease of the bones, &c. below; but, in this case, they generally are converted into a different genus. They also come naturally, in consequence of the great imperfection of their action, and the consequent want of power, to act beyond the due proportion betwixt action and power; and, therefore, most ulcers of this genus come at last, if neglected, to belong to the next. The most effectual remedy for these ulcers is pressure. This has been long employed, by means of tight rollers wound round the limb, or by the laced stocking. But, of late, a more effectual method has been proposed, namely, a bandage of adhesive plaster, which applies itself closely to the surface, and produces a state of artificial contact and covering. This has been recommended by Dr. Darwin in the form of a many-tailed bandage, and by Mr. Baynton in the form of strips, wrapped round the limb. The following is the method of applying them: A strip of adhesive plaster, about an inch broad, and so long as to encircle the limb and cross at each end, is to be warmed, and the middle of it applied to that part of the limb which is exactly opposite to the sore; both ends are now to be brought forward, and one of them laid tightly over the under part of the sore (if it be so large as not to be covered with one strip), whilst the other is brought firmly over this from the opposite side, and doubled down upon it. The ends of the strip thus fold over each other at the ulcer. Another strip is then to be applied to the part of the sore contiguous to this which is not yet covered, and so on in succession, until the whole be covered. This is the best way of applying the strips, if the integuments be firm; but, if they be loose and yielding, it will be useful to push forward the loose skin from behind, with the strips, as we bring them forward; and, instead of laying down first one end, and then the other over it, make the two ends cross each other at the same time, and lay them down upon the skin, and not on each other, the under end covering the lower part of the sore, and the upper the part next it. The same strip, therefore, covers two portions of the surface, whereas, in the
