He had been to a barber whom he was not accustomed to frequent, and who he thought was not sufficiently cleanly. On going to his own barber some three days later, it was remarked to him “why you must have had your chin scalded;” there being two red patches on it. Fom these there developed very quickly two large definite rings. It was six weeks between the supposed date of his infection, and his visit to me. In the meantime patches had occurred all over his chin and front of neck, and they had lost the character of rings, and consisted merely of raised areas which were red, and from which the epidermis was peeling. He had been using various remedies, and had perhaps modified it a good deal by them. Some of the patches did show in an indistinct manner the tendency to become crescentic. On inquiry as to whether he had any special reason to suppose he had been exposed to the infection of ringworm, he said “no. ” He kept a boot-shop and had nothing to do with cattle or horses. He was not aware that there was any ringworm in his family, but said that one of his children, an infant, was suffering badly from eczema. He had been sent to me by a friend of his, a butcher, whom I had cured four years ago, of very bad ringworm of the chin, supposed to have been caught at the same shop . 14 Visscher, PK, Vetter, RS, Camazine, S.
