a REMARKABLE CASE.
DR.. Lewis Wheat reported a case
of teroderma oermatits. exhibiting the
patient. a seven-year-old boy from Pc
tersburg who was examined after the
report by most of the physicians present.
It is a very rare disease OF the skin,
and developed in the presentation of the
case that it is one of probably less than
fifty known to the medical profession in
the whole world. Many eminent physi-
clans go a whole lifetime without seeing
a case. and DR.. Wheat was not slow to
recognize that the case would be of sur
gical interest to the profession.
The earnest manner in which they ex-
amned the peculiar disease showed that
they appreciated the trouble DR.. Wheat
took in getting the boy there for exam
