Color of the pityriasis much faded. December1st.—Dismissed cured. Commentary.—The general form of this vegetable parasite, firstdiscovered by Eichstadt in 1846, is different from that of favus, con-sisting of masses of globular sporules seldom exceeding the eight-thousandth of an inch in diameter, mingled with short branchingthalli, just large enough to contain them (See Fig. 499). Dr. T. of Glasgow has published several cases strongly confirmatoryof the contagiousness of the disease.* Cleanliness and unguents arethe best remedies. The above case readily yielded to the commonpitch ointment. In a case which closely resembled chronic eczema of thescalp, I found masses of similar sporules on the hairs, with numerous.

Portion of the root of a hair plucked from a crust of chronic eczemaof the scalp, easily made to split up, and presenting within its substance and sheathnumerous minute globular sporules. 250 diam. SECTION X DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. The diseases of the blood have strongly engaged the attention of modernpathologists, who, putting aside the vague speculation which the ancientsheld regarding this important fluid, have sought to investigate the sub-ject by the aid of facts derived from chemical, microscopical, and clinicalresearches. The general results of these have been sketched, pp. 131 to133. The alterations of the blood give rise to many of the most impor-tant disorders which affect the body, besides being necessarily associatedmore or less with every morbid change conne
