Eczema and Sycosis .—Under this head nine cases mostly of a chronic type were treated. It
is doubtful whether the organisms isolated in most of these cases were the primary causes of
the skin affection which was most likely the result of some constitutional trouble. A successful
case (case 171) was that of a hound which developed pustules all over the body after an attack of
distemper. The autogenous staphylococcus vaccine cured the pustules and is reported to have
improved the general condition of the animal as well.

Pemphigus .— Eight cases of streptococcal pemphigus were treated with autogenous vaccines.
The results were as usual most gratifying. Five of them were cured, in one (121) the vaccine-
could not be given a fair trial as the patient died from pulmonary complications. The only
case in which the vaccine is reported as ineffective was not a true case of pemphigus but one of
extensive dry scaly, psoriasis-like implication of the whole body but mostly of the extremities in
a boy of 17 years. The rash was suspiciously like a syphilitic one but no specific history could
be obtained. A few pustules broke out here and there in the affected areas as a result most
likely of scratching and a streptococcus was isolated from the discharge from the pustules. The
vaccine proved quite useless as the streptococcus had evidently nothing to do with the causation.
