- Eruption of nodules and pimples on the exposed skin, speedily breaking out on those who are, for the first time, engaged in the manufacture, lasting for a few weeks or months, and then generally diminishing or disappearing. In a few exceptional individuals the eruption does not disappear, but assuming a chronic character, produces so marked and prolonged an affection of the skin that the general health becomes impaired, and the cessation of this employment becomes a necessity. In the acute form of the eruption, which soon appears in those exposed to the influence of crude paraffin, the skin of the hands, wrists, arms, feet, and legs becomes covered with a rash of bright-red nodules, closely approximate to each other, and usually largest and most numerous on the wrists, or wherever the dress tightly embraces the skin; the dorsal aspects of the parts being most severely affected, and the palms of the hands and soles of the feet enjoying a complete immunity; similar nodules arise, though to a less extent, on the face, neck, and other parts of the body to which the oily matters find access; on examining minutely the skin of those affected in this way, the following are the leading peculiarities of the eruption: the bright-red nodules, hard to the touch, tender on pressure, varying little in size, which is about equal to that of a grain of barley, are of a rounded form, and consist each of a single hair-follicle with the parts immediately surrounding it, which are inflamed, indurated, and reddened; the hair emerges from the very summit of the nodule, and the orifice of the hair-follicle is much enlarged and easily visible to the naked eye as an aperture of a magnitude similar to that of a pinhole in a card; the dilatation extends to the deeper part of the follicle, which forms the kernel of the inflamed knot, the retention of its contents evidently contributing to the inflammatory induration around; the gaping mouth of the follicle exhibits masses of cast-off epithelial scales, dry and friable instead of greasy and tenacious; the nodule has little of the tendency to run on to suppuration observable in an ordinary comedone, and its contents cannot be squeezed out; on the contrary, the redness and induration, after remaining for some little time, gradually diminish, and finally disappear, leaving the hair-follicle enlarged, and its mouth gaping so as to exhibit the retained epithelial masses, these latter being rendered more distinct by continued retention and accumulation of dirt; in fact, the acute form of the eruption consists of successive crops of these nodules, which are at the same time seen in all stages of their growth, full development, and subsidence; while the skin between them, studded with the black gaping mouths of such follicles as have already passed through or are about to undergo the process, retains, contrary to what is observed in the chronic form of the malady, its natural pliancy and elasticity. In all paraffin-workers patency and enlargement of the hair-follicles continue, to some extent, so long as they are engaged in this manufacture, and the black dots in the skin of their hands and face strike the eye of the observer at once; men with dark complexions and strong hair being especially deformed in this way, while fair complexions and light or reddish hair escape comparatively unaffected; a few exceptional individuals, with swarthy complexions and hairy skins, suffer so much from an exaggerated patency of the follicles that they are compelled to quit their occupation and seek a more suitable calling. When the disease assumes a chronic form it exhibits the following characteristics; the backs of the feet and toes, the dorsum of the hand, and the backs of the fingers between, but not over, the joints, exhibit a peculiar honeycombed appearance of the skin, which is elevated, thickened, and inelastic, so as to prevent or render difficult and painful the flexion of the fingers and hands; these elevated honeycombed patches are of natural color, and not inflamed (except where the isolated papule exhibits the appearance described under the acute form), but consists of densely grouped arrays of hair-follicles, with the indurated cutis between and around them, the follicles packed with dry brittle accumulations of epithelial scales, so extensive as to be easily visible through the dilated mouths of the follicles, these latter being large enough to admit the extremity of an ordinary probe; the hairs themselves have disappeared from these patches, having probably become atrophic from the pressure of the epidermic masses, while cracks and bleeding fissures traverse the indurated parts, and in rare instances a follicular abscess gives variety to the picture; the knuckles of the fingers and toes, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet remain unaffected by the disease; in the subjects of the chronic malady the complexion is pale and the tongue foul, while the loss of flesh betrays the effects of the sleepless nights caused by the constant irritation and pain of the skin of the affected extremities, 22.
- Eruptions, Moist.
- On the front of the thighs and legs, and the backs of the forearms, there is a vesicular eruption; it is everywhere similar in character; on the thighs there are some thickened patches of cuticle and sordes covering part of the eruption; the vesicles are aggregated in places and isolated at the margins; there is no itching in the affected parts, but some irritation is complained of (after three weeks); two days later, has had two baths; some of the cuticle and sordid matter is removed from the thigh, and the nature of the disease is better seen; some of the vesicles seem inclined to be pustular at their summits; a hair is seen in the centre of each of them, 21.

23 , G. W. Haile, M.D., Cincin. Journ. of Med., May, 1867, p. 300, Mary ---, aged eighteen months drank an indefinite quantity; 24 , Dr. O. Lassar, Virchow's Archiv, Jan. 1878 (Lond. Med. Rec., 1878, p. 163), effects of inunction.
- Rolling its eyes up occasionally (after fifteen minutes), 23.
- Pupils slightly contracted (after fifteen minutes), 23.
- Breath smelt very strongly of the oil (after fifteen minutes), 23.
- A skin of spasmodic cough (after fifteen minutes), 23.
- Very hard convulsion (soon), 23.
- The urine had been highly albuminous, and contained "hyalin and granular cylinders." At the necropsy, the body was extremely œdematous, and the epidermis in places was raised in little blebs; dissection showed dropsy of the cavities and œdema of the lungs, but no lesion of any organ to account for the dropsy, the kidneys being perfectly normal in all respects. "The most scrupulous histological investigation failed to find a trace of interstitial growth, proliferation of nuclei, amyloid degeneration, or more than traces of fatty degeneration of the epithelium." On inquiry, it turned out that this man had dated the commencement of his illness from an extensive inunction of his body with Petroleum, which about four months before his death, he had employed as a means of relieving himself from scabies. He used the Petroleum for four days, and a week elapsed before he noticed swelling of the feet, which, rapidly increasing, spread over the abdomen and thorax; in the course of a fortnight it disappeared, but returned after eight days, and persisted up till his death. While in hospital, the radial pulse was noted to be small, empty, and of low tension; the blood-corpuscles were few, but their relative proportions were normal. Temperature was normal. Histological examination of the skin showed localized areas of inflammation; along the veins and lymphatics a small-celled growth existed, and in all the layers of the cutis there was a widely distributed nuclear proliferation, 24.
- Much inclined to sleep (after fifteen minutes), 23.
