sparsely with fine vesicles filled with a thick white lymph; the
erysipelatous inflammation was most marked in the malar region, being of
a livid or dark-red hue, and extending along the outer and lower margin
of the orbit (the second morning); on my next visit a slight roughness
was felt on passing the hand over the cheek. ►

eruption (on my second visit). ►
