Eczeioa.—Febrile Eczema often yields to Petrol., or else to Dulc or 2^hos., especially when it has been caused by a chill. For chronic Eczema, Clem., dulc, mere., and phos. may be con suited. [ °Cantharis.—En.] Eczema, produced by the abuse of Mercury, requires chiefly . Sulj^h.; or else : Aeon., bell., or dig. as intermediate medicines against over-excitement. [ The preferable divisions are : 1. Eczema Solare, caused by sun or fire. The pains are violent, with burning, especially at night. Remedies : Am., ars., bell., and rhus. °Arum. ? 2. Eczema Simplex. This form occurs in large masses of trans- parent, shining, closely-crowded vesicles, which are evolved from an uninflamed surface with itching; the vesicles become turbid, break, and create yellow incrustations, which soon fall off. The dis- ease is often mistaken for itch. Remedies : Ars., dulc., mere,petrol., phos., and sulph. 3. Eczema Rubrum. This form, at times quite severe, consists of vesicles with inflamed halos, which arise on a swollen, hot, tense, shining;, and red surface. The vesicles extend over large surfaces, become confluent, discharge an acrid opaque matter, which forms yellow and moist crusts, extremely irritating. There is fever, with quick pulse and coated tongue. If it be limited to portions of the skin, it runs its course in 14 days; if it extend over the whole sur- face, from 6 to 8 weeks. Desquamation occurring frequently, finally terminates in bran-like scales, even with the loss of hair and nails. Remedies same as for E. Simplex. 4. Eczema hnpetiginoides, a combination of eczema and hnpetigo. Eczema vesicles and impetigo pustules are developed at the same time, with pain, heat, and violent itching. The purulent vesicles break and discharge a corrosive matter, by which the cuticle is raised in large moist pieces, which change into green crusts, that fall oflF, leaving a surface as red as carmine. If violent, the dis- charge is offensive. Around this eruption there rises a red swollen circle, dotted with small transparent, or milky, or dry vesicles
