The constitutional symptoms are more profound in erysipelas than in herpes. How are variola and erysipelas to be differentiated ? When variola is attended with a ])rimary roseola, the disease may, for several days, simulate erysipelas. The redness of erysipelas, however, is distinctly circumscribed, although it may slowly spread, and is attended with brawny induration, while that of smallpox rapidly spreads from the face to the trunk and extremities. On the third or fourth day, if the disease is variola, papules appear, progressively passing through the stages of vesicles and pustules. The eruption of erysipelas un- dergoes little change, unless large blebs form, until on about the fifth or seventh day, when it may subside with desquamation. Glandular Fever. What is glandular fever ? Glandular fever is probably an infectious disease, occurring especially in children, and attended with redness of the throat and enlargement of the cervical lymph-glands. What is the symptomatology of glandular fever ? The disease sets in suddenly, with pain on movement of the head and neck.

In many cases liver and spleen also are enlarged. The adenitis may persist for several weeks. Suppuration may take place. Miliaria—Miliary Fever—Sweating Disease. What is miliary fever ? Miliaria is probably an infectious disease characterized by a
