    LEAD TO CONTAMINATION. 54] curial influence will not prevent venereal con- tagion, nor primary symptoms arising, such as sores, chancres, or buboes; nor secondary ones, such as eruptions and diseases of the bones, if the mercurialised parties then again expose themselves to the virus,—no, no more than the system’s being under the impression of mercury ; for the cure of iritis in one eye will prevent a similar disease arising in the other; and no more than the system’s being full of bark for the cure of erysipelas, will prevent an attack of ague. This is well shown by the Case of John W o, p. 242, in whom chancre appeared after his mouth had been sore a fortnight. In the Case of S S , p- 333, the bubo preceded the chancre, and the latter appeared after his mouth had been sore more than that time. If mercury were.a specific against the venereal virus, how is it that it did not,cure sores from contagion in J C—-ke, but injured his health ? and how is it that secondary lichen, etc., came out in the following case, even when the party’s mouth had been for three weeks tender by its influence, and carefully kept so to prevent these symptoms running their course; but the attempt was made in vain?
