A Purpura urticata—elevated rose-like spots, or papulæ of smaller circumference: it was very favourable, and sometimes passed off without fever. 2. Spots consisting of very small miliary vesicles and pustules which ran into each other: less favourable. 3. Small hemispherical pimples, from the size of a mustard seed to that of a corn of maize. They were surmounted by a white point before they died away, and the large kind became converted into pustules, filled with matter or greyish semitransparent phlyctænæ, with red inflamed bases. This form was the commonest, and extended, mixed with the others, over the whole surface, especially the trunk. 4. An exanthem resembling flea-bites, of a bright red, with a small grey miliary vesicle in the middle, almost invisible, except through a lens: this form was the worst.Pujol, Œuvres diverses de Médecine Pratique, 4 vols.Castres, 1801. 8vo.[507]Foderé, III. p. 222.[508]On this point seeAllioni, who drew his classical description of miliary fever from the Piedmont epidemics.[509]Bellot, An febri putridæ, Picardis Suette dictæ sudorifera?

Blisters were of service, and likewise, under some circumstances, camphor.
