d a severemercurial stomatitis, was admitted to the hospital. Forfourteen days she had taken inunctions, without tak-ing any care of her mouth. The entire mucous mem-brane of the mouth was inflamed and the tongue wascoated. On the edge of the tongue were several hol-lowed-out ulcers with very red borders and coveredwith yellowish-gray adherent necrotic membranes.These ulcers corresponded to tlie adjacent teeth andmight be regarded as decubital ulcers. As there are signs of early syphilis present these 173 ulcerations might be falsely diagnosed as those ofsecondary syphilis, but the number and regular ar-rangement, together with their smooth floors coveredwith necrotic membranes, distinguish them from theulcers of secondary syphilis. In secondary syphilisthe floor of the ulcer is irregular and anfractuous, andhas a grayish border. The flat form of the picturedulcers and their number preclude also a diagnosis ofgumma. The ulcers healed under simple treatment. 174 Plate XXVL Figs. 30, 31
