A Practical Treatise on Smallpox

by George Henry Fox

Variola Hemorrhagica.

Showing upon the face and cheeks a form of the disease commonly known as “black smallpox.” Figs. 1 and 2 were photographed on the second day and show a profuse and dark eruption. The swelling and disfigurement of the face present a most striking appearance. Figs. 3 and 4 were photographed on the fourth day, when the patient was in a moribund condition. [H.]

IV.

VARIOLA VESICULOSA. (Fourth Day.)

A case of moderate severity, with well-developed vesicles and characteristic grouping of lesions upon the face. [P.]

V.

Variola Vesiculosa.

Fig. 1 shows a mixed eruption of papules and vesicles upon the right thigh. (Third day.) This condition is exceptional in Variola, though quite common in Varicella. [F.] Fig. 2 shows well developed umbilicated vesicles upon the forearm. (Fifth day.) [H.] Fig. 3 shows a hemorrhagic effusion into the vesicles on the thigh and leg, a condition far less serious than the purpuric eruption of malignant variola. [P.]
