, ‘The various modifications of Eryfipe- 
Jas have occurred with peculiar frequency 
during the laft month. Concerning the 
nature of this. difeafe there has exifted a 
confiderable diverfity of opinion ; but this 
probably arifes from an aétual difference 
in the nature of the dileafe itfelf oceurring 
at different periods, and in different ii. 
tuations. Between the eryfipeias of Edin- 
burgh, for inftance, which ihe Reporter 
has feen, and hat of London, which he i 
is conttantly in the habit of feeing, there 
exifts in the generality of cafes an impor- 
tant practical diftinétion. The former, 
for the moft part exhibits characterittics of 
active inflammation; the latter, thofe of po- 
fitive debility or decay. The one of courte 
requires fedatives and the various means 
of evacuation, the other the application, 
both externally and internally, of exciting 
and invigorating remedies. Cafes of ery- 
fipelas, though fometimes regarded as tur- 
gical, fall more properly within the de~ 
partment of the phybean. The fa iry 
that cutaneous affections in general ought 
to be regarded not as difeales in them=— 
felves, but-mercly as indices of a difeafed — 
{tate of the conftitution, which is fre-, 
guently refored to its natural health and _ 
vigour by encouraging, rather than check= ~ 
ing cr retarding, the progrefs of a fuperfie — 
cial eruption. It is likewife worthy of 
remark, that the fame appearance on 
fhe furface of the fkin fometimes arifes 
from one, and fometimes from an Gppo=-
