Rupia.In recent years the term is limited tc one eruption, which begins as small blisters containing a watery fluid. In a few days this fluid becomes mixed with matter and with blood, after which the blisters dry into dark, thick scabs. If these scabs be removed there is found beneath a raw, ulcerated surface, bounded by ragged and prominent edges. But in the ordinary course of the disease the scabs do not fall off when first formed. The first scab is raised from the raw surface by the formation of a second one beneath it. This second and lower scab is larger in extent than the first, and is in turn replaced by a third larger than itself. Thus there accumulate a series of scabs one above another, the entire mass presenting a conical shape. These may occur at some limited part of the body or they may be scattered pretty generally over the entire surface. In this latter case the patient is exceedingly uncomfortable, and is unable to rest in any position without pain. Treatment.- This disease is always of syphilitic origin. The patient has acquired the disease usually at least eighteen months or two years previously. In most cases his general health is greatly impaired, and he may have some other symptoms of syphilis. The treatment consists in supporting the powers of the individual, in the administration of tonics and of those remedies which are known to counteract the effects of syphilis. Locally it is necessary to soften and remove the scabs by immersing the patient in a hot bath for fifteen or twenty minutes. Then the ulcers which are left after removal of the scabs may be dressed by dusting them with powdered iodoform.
