Some time after beginning the proving of the alkaline Borates, an eruption was noticed on the right thigh, consisting of vesicles, which continually extended and became covered with crusts; in the middle, a circumscribed spot as large as a ten-cent piece, surrounded by new vesicles, which were very moist when broken (Impetigo figurata, Willan ).

After two months, this eruption extended to the right lower leg; it then passed over to the left lower leg and disappeared, eight months after first breaking out, and two months from the time of taking any medicine.
