VESICUL^. This order is placed after papulae, as it often happens that lichen may be a vesicular dis-ease. Vesicles are often the sequel of lichen. They contain a clear watery serum, whichhas had the effect to elevate portions of the cuticle. The general character of all vesiculareruptions is such as I have described; but as the disease advances in its progress, the en-closed lymph of the vesicles acquires a considerable degree of opacity, and might almost bedeemed purulent. The eruptions appear to consist of Herpes solitarius, H. confertus, H. cir-cinatus, and Rupia. PLATE XXIL HERPES VENEREUS. In this plate may be seen three varieties of Herpes —the isolated vesicles form what is-called solitarius ; those in patches, form the variety of confertus ; and those disposed totake the annular arrangement, are the circinatus variety. 191 ! - 9> sj • ^ u W £ % •v. 8 • 4 u 1 o rs J o°«3 ?- ^ £ S J & N D .ft •4 1—t k o 6 aj ?s Ph $5 V5, i—i CO fc3 «. > a

The other rings soon disappeared by concreting anddrying off. The ulcer healed readily. Ten weeks from the period of infection, he com-plained of a sore throat, which was covered with a diffused rose-colored redness. Shortlyafter a mottled redness came out on the skin from head to foot, accompanied with feverish-ness. The eruption afterwards put on the character of the puniceous patch, and ultimatelya concentric eruption of small vesicles, as seen in the lowerpart of the Plate. The glandsat the back of the tongue enlarged, and there were superficial circular ulcerations in thethroat and fauces. He had stiffness in the right leg, and pains in the left
