Hyde states that ^ in consequence ofwarmth and moisture the luj^oid nodule is here transformed into a moistpapillary outgrowth or externally granulating patch. Later there en-sues a peculiar ulceration, or rather a wasting away of tissue, not attendedby any purulent discharge or necrosis, but by a disappearance of the Tig. Lupus of the soft palate.
