se, a girl had lupus covering the entire face, with the excep-tion of the chin, and also a patch about two inches in diameter onthe right arm. The patch on the arm was successfully treated byuse of the X-rays. In a third case, a girl who had lupus of the faceand right thigh was treated with a successful result. Geyser * reported four cases of lupus as follows: Case 1.—In a sheet of lead a hole was cut to fit the affectedarea upon the patients face, which was about the size of a silverhalf-dollar. The tube was adjusted at two or three inches from thesurface, exposures were made every second day from ten to fifteenminutes. Twelve treatments healed the lesion. Case 2.—A small lupus patch, diameter about one inch.Treatment same as Case 1. Improvement noted after seventh treat-ment. Entirely healed in sixteen treatments. While clinically re-sembling lupus vulgaris these lesions were neither of them consideredto be true lupus, as they healed so easily. * Journal of Electro-Therapeutics.
