-
Certain sloughing or gangrenous ulcers of the mouth-so called, perhaps, because they are often accompanied with an afflux of saliva. The disease is not uncommon in children's asylums, and demands the same treatment as hospital gangrene-the employment of caustics, and internal and external antiseptics.
