of the skin surfaces. There are no lesions of early syphilis which yield to arsphenamin with more rapidity than do chancres and mucous patches of the mouth. The late lesions of syphilis of the mouth yield promptly under specific treatment, whether arsphenamin, or mercury and the iodids, or both. For their healing, mercury and the iodids are all sufficient, although heal¬ ing is somewhat more rapid when they are combined with arsphenamin. No local treatment of either early or late syphilids of the mouth is necessary beyond cleanliness and obvious rational measures. The only lesions that will not heal under specific treatment are those in which there is dead bone whose removal is necessary before cure can occur.7 West Madison Street.
