    I should join issue with many of the varie- ties of acne, which are described hy all dermatologists, because many are simply the result of a fancy of the author. I allude to such compound phrases as Acne induiata, Acne punctata, Acne conformis. These varieties are commonly found on the same sul)ject, and the retention of their use in our vocabulary is only confusing and unscientitic. In the two lectures which I have the plea- sure of delivering, T shall divide the disease into three varieties. Firstlif, Physiological Acne. Sccondlif, Climacteric Acne. Third!ij, Hose Acne. But before proceeding to these varieties, let us glance at the histology and physiology of the sebaceous follicles, which will be found to he intimately associated with the hair sacs, and it will he necessary for me to allude to this relationship many times in these lec- tures. T consider, by l)earing in mind this relationship, we are enabled to compreliend many of the phenomena which we meet with in these very common and trouhlesome maladies.
