At other times groupsof real vesicles will be observed onthe soft palate and the uvula, oftenin more or less linear arrangement oneach side of the raphe. The tonsils,too, will have become irregularly en-larged, and often bear upon their sur-face superficial ulcerations, coveredwith a grayish or whitish secretion. Acommon appearance presented, whenthe affection is of long standing, isherewith depicted (Fig. 52), from a caseultimately cured. Extensive ulceration exists only in excep-tional cases, and that, perhaps, in subjects of the scrofulousdiathesis. The hoarseness, expectoration, and dysphagia, will all be in-creased in severity, and cough will be present in a greater or. Fig. 52.—Chronic folliculous pharyn-gitis.

In many instances the disease continues in this state for anindefinite time. Should it progress, the inflamed follicles ulcer-ate through the mucous membrane, the surfaces of the ulcersbecoming coated with turbid, tenacious layers of muco-puswhich trickle down the surface of the membrane. The anglesof the pharynx are quite prone to be the seat of ulceration, andthis sometimes extends along the walls of the pharyngo-laryn-geal or pyramidal sinuses, quite to the entrance of the oesopha-gus. The saccular glands at the base of the tongue, which areoften much hypertrophied, occasionally undergo ulceration inlike manner, as does als
