According to this experience, in conjunction with the symptoms 706, 707,
I believe that Apis will prove a successful prophylactic and curative
agent in a disease of children, which terminates fatally in almost every
case. I mean erysipelas of new-born infants, which commences at the
genital organs, thence spreads over the skin, and terminates in the
induration and destruction of this organ. Until now, I have not had an
opportunity of verifying the truth of this theoretical conclusion by
actual experiments. Hence I content myself with offering this
suggestion for further practical trials.

scarlatina.
