a—The ulcer on the prepuce.
b—The ulcer on the penis.
I have witnessed the sloughing, or, in other words, the loss of the entire top of the glans and prepuce, within half a dozen days. The subjoined drawing (overleaf) represents a tumefied state of the penis, ulceration on the glans surrounding the orifice of the urethra, phymosis of the prepuce, and ulcers in different stages on the outside thereof. The sketch was taken from Wallace’s work. Such are often met with. Chancres, as before stated, often become irritable, spread rapidly, and slough, more particularly in persons of intemperate and dissipated habits, or when the case has been improperly treated; and openings into the urethra are formed to a considerable extent, sometimes to the destruction of the glans, or a portion of the penis.
