    PLATES 62 and 62 a. Scabies. H. M., female, admitted Aug. 12, 1897. The patient stated that itching, especially at night, became noticeable six weeks previously, although most of the pustular lesions had appeared more recently. Status Praesens.—The whole surface is the seat of irregu- larly-scattered scratch-marks and excoriations; and the ex- tremities are covered with numerous discrete pustules, mostly crusted. The dorsal surface of both hands is studded with well- filled pustules and pus-containing blebs; in some places, more particularly on the fingers, they have been scratched away and given place to raw-looking abrasions. Treatment.—Wilkinson's ointment; cure.
