Excerpt from The Practical Medicine Series, Vol. 9 of 10: Skin and Venereal Diseases; Miscellaneous Topics A review of the literature on cutaneous medicine for the year shows very little diminution in its volume owing to the activities of the war. Syphilis and the venereal diseases have been well studied in the armies in the field, and emergency treatment has been devised, while prophy lactic measures have been given trial on a large scale. Attention has been called to the possible spread of lep rosy due to contact of soldiers in the fields with the dis ease where it is endemic. Trench fighting, under the conditions imposed during cold weather, has produced numerous cases of erythema and gangrene of the feet, similar to frost-bite, due in these instances to temperature above the freezing point.

Excerpt from Skin and Venereal Diseases Either as a direct or indirect result of the war a number of events of importance have transpired during the past year. Among the former may be mentioned the passage of the Trading with the Enemy Act which will preclude any further imp ortation of salvar san during the war, and the granting of a license to American laboratories to manufacture the drug. An other direct result is the disappearance of all German medical journals from circulation in this country. Vari ous journals have been brought into the United States, but they have not been available for the purposes of this volume and hence the absence of all references to Ger man medical literature except a few which were too late for the 1916 volume.

Excerpt from Archives of Dermatology, 1877, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of Skin and Venereal Diseases A Special Journal, devoted to a branch of medicine which has been so much neglected as Dermatology by the profession at large, must create for itself a position, and command its own audience, which it must in a measure educate up to its standard; this of course refers only to the general practitioners, who have not devoted any Special thought or study to the branch. The aim of the archives OF dermatology has been to meet the wants Of the General Practitioner, and to serve as a means Of communication between the specialist, whose whole time and thought are devoted to Skin or Venereal Diseases, and those in gen eral practice, that the daily-gained experience Of the latter may reach the former. TO this end the Editor and staff have endeavored to include within its pages reference to everything which has been reported elsewhere in these departments during the year, in addi tion to the large amount of original matter which has filled more than one half of the Journal. Many Of the original articles have undoubtedly been very special in their character, and considerable of the matter digested from other journals has been purely scien tiho, but it must be borne in mind that it is impossible to render the entire subject of Dermatology clear and interesting to those unacquainted with more than its rudiments, and that the Archives is designed to serve as a compendium of knowledge in this branch for those engaged exclusively in it, as well as an assistant to the general practitioner in managing these diseases.

Excerpt from The Practical Medicine Series, Vol. 9 of 10: Comprising Ten Volumes on the Year's Progress in Medicine and Surgery; Skin and Venereal Diseases, Miscellaneous Topics Dermatitis Artefacta in a Hysteric is reported by Q. 0. Adamson.4 The patient, an attractive young woman, was not suspected by Adamson of hysteria. Her illness began with the unexplained appearance of patches of weeping eczema on the face. These continued to recur on the cheeks, forehead, neck, arms, and later thighs and legs despite treatment and covering with dressing. The crop never failed for a year, the condition being some times better, sometimes worse. In the initial stage there was an erythemous flush which rapidly became moist, suppurated and healed with a crust. The eruption was often square or linear, sometimes round. A dermatol ogist consulted pronounced the case one of dermatitis herpetiformis. The patient went to a specialist without results. Another dermatologist regarded it as a case of dermatitis artefacta. The parents were skeptical; watch ing by a nurse failed. The patient was removed at length to a nursing home. Here three days after admission, a movement under the bedclothes led to the detection of the lady's hand holding most unsuspiciously a handkerchief, but in the handkerchief was a small ragged piece of pumice-stone! Thereupon this protracted dermatosis came quickly to a complete end. The patient later feigned hemoptysis and bowel obstruction, and was detected.
