In a day or two more, my patient took cold and was affected with hoarseness and cough, and the skin round the eschar became excoriated a little. I directed a saline purgative and applied the lunar caustic to the excoriated parts. On the succeeding day his cold was better and the eschars adherent.
On the succeeding day, I found that the large eschar had again been disturbed, the patient having applied a little linen, instead of leaving it exposed. I reapplied the lunar caustic. On the next day both eschars were complete, but there was a little fluid under the centre of each, which required to be evacuated by an incision. There was little inflammation or pain.
On examining the wounds on the separation of the eschars, I found the healing process going on. I reapplied the lunar caustic to form eschars, and I evacuated a little fluid from their centre for three successive days. At this time the patient took cold and a smart attack of fever came on, and the part round the eschars became much inflamed.
On the fourth, the patient having used his leg a little, rather more fluid was evacuated from the centre, and there was rather more inflammation round the edges, of the eschars. I enjoined the strictest rest. On the fifth day, there were less inflammation and discharge.
On the following day, my patient expressed herself as astonished at the rapid amendment. A little fluid was again evacuated from beneath the centre of the eschar. On the next day the smaller eschar was quite adherent; under the large one, there was still a very little fluid. About the ninth day, both the eschars were perfectly adherent.
The resulting cicatrix may be slightly depressed, but otherwise exhibits little tendency to contract and cause deformity. Burns of Fourth Degree Total Destruction of the Skin. These follow the more prolonged action of any form of intense heat. Large, black, dry eschars are formed, surrounded by a zone of intense congestion.
And, finally, when the poison has been supplied in too small a quantity to destroy life, eschars are produced, that is, certain superficial portions of the tissues are destroyed, which are afterward thrown off by the reparative process taking place in the healthy parts. These three sets of instances admit of being treated according to the Method of Agreement.

At this time I had not begun to defend the eschar by the gold-beater's skin, and in consequence both these eschars were torn by the patient's stocking having adhered to them, and there was an oozing of fluid from the centre of each eschar on examination on the following day. I again applied the lunar caustic.
I directed five grains of the Plummer's pill to be taken night and morning, which he continued about a week. Five days after this period, I again observed a disposition to excoriate. I applied the caustic. In two days more, the eschars were adherent, and there was no further appearance of excoriation.
