- Right cheek much inflamed, and covered 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.
- Right wrist somewhat inflamed, and abundantly covered with a miliary eruption (on my second visit).
- Frequent sensations of chilliness, which induced her to put a shawl about her shoulders, although in midsummer (second day).
