A disease occurring in Greece, by some identified with syphilis; beginning with vertigo, followed by general articular and periosteal pains and a copper-colored, pustular or nodular eruption. This in turn gives place to spreading, destructive ulcers in the mouth and elsewhere, hoarseness (almost constant), and ultimately tabes.
