Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ...the bottom of the ulcer is covered with a whitish pulpy substance or false membrane, which adheres so firmly, that it can with difficulty be wiped or washed ofT. The ulcer is generally circular, and appears as if made with a punch, fig. 1, h, and fig. 3, a. The margin if viewed by means of a microscope, will be found dentated and covered with a secretion similar to that seen at the bottom of the nicer. The border is slightly oedematous and raised, and the areola around it is of a browner tint than at the previous stages; this oedematous condition of the border occasions a slight eversion of the edges, and hence the ulcer may assume a somewhat infundibuliform appearance.., If the pus of a chancre, such as we have described it, be examined by the microscope, it will be often found to contain animalcules, particularly the vibrio lineola of Mailer. The experiments of M. Donne, have likewise proved that it may present either alkaline or acid reaction, circumstances depending upon its situation, &c. This secretion varies in consistence, but is usually of a thin, serous, and sanguineous character; however, the peculiar pathognomonic character of the pus is the action which it produces on the animal economy when inoculated; for I may here state that no other secretibn with which we are acquainted, or which I have seen employed, will produce similar effects. In tracing chancre to the secretion of a previously-existing ulcer (the quantity of which, however minute, will constantly produce its effects), M. Ricord was necessarily led to push his investigations further; but neither the microscope nor chemical analysis has enabled him to isolate the virus: all his endeavors have hitherto failed in separating it from the other component parts of the secretion of...
