Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Malignant Pustule in the United States
Dr. Parker states that the object of his communication in re porting these cases, was to call special attention to this disease, which from the frequency of its occurrence in his own practice, and other cases which had been related to him, seemed to be very prevalent. Although Dr. Parker's description and treatment of the disease which he reports, accords with that which is given by French surgeons who have written upon malignant pustule, he nevertheless concludes, that it differs from true malignant pustule, to which in its origin it seems allied by attacking per sons who have not been affected by poisonous wounds, or who have been liable to the introduction of animal poisons into the system.
In a report of the proceedings of the New York Medical and Surgical Society, to be found in the New York Journal of Medi cine for 1859, Dr. John Watson relates the case of a young English woman, who was suffering from one of those virulent pustules on the face, commonly called malignant pustules.
