 signs of prostration which had been marked at the 

 onset subsided, so that the little girl (aged 7) during 

 the pyrexial stage while the rash was fully out, was 

 permitted by her parents to run about the room and 

 play with her toys. In this case the most profuse 

 desquamation followed. 



" The mean temperatures in a third case, wherein 

 the throat signs were very severe, were, sixth day of 

 fever, 104 F. ; seventh day, 105 ; ninth day, 101 ; 

 eleventh day, 97. The throat symptoms passed 

 away, leaving perfect power of swallowing, in five cases 

 in 4 days. Complete convalescence took place in five 

 cases in 7 days ; in two cases in 1 1 days ; in almost 

 all the others in 14 days. The only sequelae observed 

 were in one case, albuminuria appearing on one day 

 and disappearing by the next ; in one case general 

 anasarca ; in one case abscess of a superficial gland in 

 the neck ; and in one case, a small persistent glandu- 

 lar swelling without suppuration. Not one of the 22 

 cases was fatal."
