ERYSIPELAS STARTS IN
MOST TRIVIAL WOUNDS

that the appearance once seen will
not soon be forgotten.
If erysipelas is limited to the face
and scalp it usually runs its course
in few days or weeks, but some
times before the face is healed other
parts of the body may become in
VOWED and the case may be pro-
longcd. Assesses beneath the skin
are not uncommon. Besides these
symptoms there is often times head
ache, loss Of appetite, coated tongue
frequent vomiting and in some cases
delirium and marked depression.
Although, in general, the outcome
of erysipelas is favorable, serious
and occasionally fatal results follow
from inflammation Of the membrane
of the brain and in some rare in
stances sudden death has occurred
from suffocation. In persons weak
ened from previous diseases, crysip-
elias may result fatally.
One attack of this disease does not
protect the individual from re-
curing attack. A very fatal form of
erysipelas sometimes attacks nov
born babies, particularly in the first
four weeks of their lives.

placed in a room by himself, and his
attendant should be healthy per
son free from any skin injury.
Wounds should be carefully dress
ed with antiscptic solutions to pre-
vent the development of the disease
Erysipelas runs its course usually
in from eight to fourteen days and
sometimes in much less time and in
most instances tends to favorablc
termination. Beyond attention to
the condition of the stomach and
bowels, which may require the use
of gentle laxative, little is given in
the way Of medicine internally.
The diet should be light and should
consist of milk, broths and puddngs.
If the temperature rises above 10j
degrees Fahrenheit the patient
should be given a cold bath. The
chief point to remember in the treat
mcnt Of crysipelas is that an abun-
dance Of nourishment should be ad-
in light and digcstiblc
form.
The eyes may be frequently
washed with a four per cent solution
Of boracic acid, that is four parts of
boracic acid to one hundred parts of
water. Very mild cases may be
treated with cloths wet with boracic
acid which are placed upon the skin
or by other mild measures. 1t is al
ways well to call a physician in any
case Of erysipelas.

| Erysipelas is an acute contagious
disease, an inflammation OF the SKIN,
| caused by an organism known as a
streptoccus. Under certain condl-
tions erysiplas has approached cpl-
demic proportions. 1t is somewhat
contagious particularly if those ex-
posed have slight wounds or are un-
| dergoing surgical operations.
When erysipelas is mild in char
. acter there is usually redness of the
skin. The skin will also feel some
, what hard and thickened. This red
| ness. though at first limited to a
small area about the wound, tends
to spread and affect the sound skin
near by until sometimes an entire
limb or a large area of the body may
become involved.
There is usually considerable pain,
coupled with much heat and tingling
in the part Of the body affected. As
the disease advances that portion o.
the skin which is first attacked be-
comes less inflamed, takes on a yell

outer skin flakes off. The inflam-
