Perhaps the most strikingmanifestation of such a low type of sickness is malignant scarlet fever. The regular rash does not comeout but in its place red spots, roseola-like, make their appearance; the usual uniform spread of theeruption has failed, or has been suppressed, and there is bleeding from the gums and nose, and dreadfultumefaction in the throat. The countenance is purple and besotted, the eyes are congested and there iseven bleeding from the eyes. There is an appearance of great prostration, but it is really stupefaction; heseems stupid and benumbed. If you look at the throat you see it is covered with little purple patches,intermingled with an oedematous appearance similar to that found in Baptisia. It is a low depressedtype of sickness. Decomposition of the blood is going on rapidly. The blood that oozes is black. Thechild is going into a state of stupor and it is with difficulty that he can be aroused. Sometimes blistersarc formed on the ends of fingers, or here and there over the body. From the mouth and nose come fetidodors. The child is going as rapidly as possible into a form of malignant disease. Sometimes the diseasecomes on as a light febrile attack, but from taking cold and suppressing some of the naturalmanifestations the case takes on a low typhoid form and whereas you had at first only a simpleremittent, the case has now assumed a state of prostration with a very rapid heart, foetor, purpleness orblueness, a passive congestion with purple blotches of the skin, causing a mottled appearance. When adisease turns so suddenly blood poisoning is going on and a symptomatic typhoid state appears. Aremittent that turns into a sharp zymotic state in the course of twenty-four hours, a diphtheria that takeson this form with stupidity and-mottled skin are examples of such a type of sickness.The mental symptoms accompanying this state are interesting. I read from some notes I havemade. A continued dreamy state of mind though awake. Child cries all the time. Sees little animals likerats running around. Feels a rat or something small crawling up the limb and over the body. Thereseems to be constant loss of memory, even the things spoken of a moment ago go right out of the mind.Constant forgetfulness. All past events are forgotten.Past events are forgotten or remembered as belonging to someone else, or as matters read. Thatis in keeping with the dreamy state, it seems as though those things that are past appear as in a dream,as if he had dreamed them. Cannot concentrate the mind in any mental effort; cannot answer questionscorrectly; is as if in a semi-conscious state, and finally he goes into complete unconsciousness. There isin the earlier stages of this zymotic state great anxiety and restlessness, later there is stupor andindifference to everything. Continual sighing with depression of spirits; extremely irritable, semiconscious,finally unconsciousness, stupor delirium and insensibility; muttering delirium withsleeplessness and restlessness. This mental state is such as occurs in zymotic sickness; the chronicillness has not been well brought out. Dr.Wells used this remedy in a number of cases as it was at that
