A fatal issue is rare, but disfiguring and disabling cicatrices may be left unless great care is employed. Pigmentary Processes.

The earl, however, made light of his disfiguring wound, saying that your blessed Lord, who had built all that house, had opened a window there, that he might see more readily what passed within; whereupon the worthy Fray Antonio Agapida is more than ever astonished at the pregnant wit of this island cavalier.
