After three or four days the oedema and the rash subsided, but the skin of the face scaled off, and there was peeling of the hands and feet, as after scarlatina,

Eruptions, Dry.

Rash all over the body, vivid as scarlatina, and attended with intolerable and incessant itching. The rash and irritation were persistent for several days, and then slowly and gradually subsided, followed by universal exfoliation of the cuticle,
