Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cincinnati Lancet and Observer, 1873, Vol. 33 Dr. Gross, Speaking from his large experience, doubts the prone ness of the disease to appear upon the chest, and states that it rarely, if ever, degenerates into malignancy that he never saw a case exhibit such a tendency. He thinks it less rare than gener ally Supposed, and that the' division of the disease into several varieties 1s hardly warrantable; ascribes to it a generally trau matic or1g1n, succeeding Upon some local injury, Often of a trivial character, the most common exciting causes being scalds and burns. It has been known to appear in a vaccine scar, and the cicatrices left by small pox to follow cupping, a blister, and con tact with nitric acid. When its origin is spontaneous, it is not always confined to two or three patches, but may appear exten sively over the surface of the body, as in a notable case of a negro, described and figured by Dr. Gross, where it seemed as if the individual was laboring under a keloid diathesis.
