At the same time others appeared on the buttocks and limbs, the trunk remaining free. For nearly a month the disease continued to develop, in spite of the use of specifics, and he had to be confined to his bed, as he was in an emaci- ated and loathsome condition. He ultimately recovered, with much disfigurement, and many scars on his face and body.” Case recorded by Dr William Anderson: patient aged twenty-nine ;— First Year.—A hard sore and secondary symp- toms. Second, Third, and Fourth years.—Quite well. Fifth year.—Began to complain of headache and loss of memory. Dull pain in temples and mental confusion, made worse by mental exertion. Sixth year.— The head symptoms persisted, headaches worse, manner reserved and suspicious. Under treatment without a good result.
