| Within two weeks the lesions turned to pustules and then enlarged to painful, ulcerated nodules up to 2 cm in diameter and ulcers with black eschars. |
| I reapplied the lunar caustic to form eschars, and I evacuated a little fluid from their centre for three successive days. |
| In two days more, the eschars were adherent, and there was no further appearance of excoriation. |
| When the eschars have become detached, suppuration exhausts the forces of the patient, and death takes place by asthenia. |
