ANALYSIS OF CONTINENTAL JOURNALS. 51 
appeared to be depressed, as if it had been picked out with the 
point of a needle. Some of these yellow points were care¬ 
fully removed, and then they looked like Favi in miniature . 
Examined in the microscope, conclusive evidence as to their 
nature was discovered in the presence of all the elements of the 
Achorion, and particularly in an abundance of the mycelium, so 
much so, indeed, that on seeing them M. Rollet could not 
help exclaiming—“ Here is really my favus of the Anti- 
quaille; it is exactly the same; there can be no mistake!^ 
Another examination, made the same day at the Veterinary 
School, with the concurrence of M. L. Tripier, had the same 
result. This gentleman, brother to M. R. Tripier, whose 
name has often appeared in these memoirs, who is deservedly 
well known for his microscopical researches, and who watched 
the course of the inoculated Tinea in his brother, like M. 
Rollet, recognised in the disease on my hand, not a legitimate 
Herpes circinnatus, but a form, of veritable Tinea favosa. 
No doubt could, therefore, exist as to the nature of the 
malady; it was the Tinea derived from the puppies; they 
had returned me what I had given them; it was justice. 
I thought it useless to prolong the experiment, and that it 
was necessary to oppose the progress of the disease as quickly 
as possible. Consequently, the same evening I applied to 
the part an ointment composed of— 
Corrosive sublimate . . 10 centigrammes. 
Glycerine.20 grammes. 
On the 15th, 16 th and 17th, I continued this treatment 
thrice every day, rubbing in this preparation gently, but for a 
long time. 
On the 18th of January the success attending the appli¬ 
cation was not such as I had expected. The centre of the 
patch appeared to be cured, but its circumference continued 
to extend ; its borders were inflamed and painful, and marked 
by a circle of vesicles full of real pus. I then decided to 
cauterize this circle with solid nitrate of silver, and continued 
the frictions with the afore-mentioned application. 
On the 20th of January the pustular circle had been 
destroyed by the cauterization, and did not again appear; 
nevertheless, all was not yet concluded, for there were observed 
six new but small Favi seated at the base of as many hairs. 
These were cauterized individually and severely with the 
caustic, and the ointment was continued, double the quantity 
of sublimate being used in its composition this time. 
From this date the disease ceased to spread, and nothing 
had to be done but wait until the eschars produced by the
