The Edinburgh Encyclopedia Vol 11 Of 18 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Encyclopedia, Vol. 13 of 18 Varicella, or Chicken-pox, is a complaint which ex hibits the characters of a true Exanthema, but is so mild in its symptoms as scarcely ever to become the subject of medical treatment; and is only worthy of our notice, as being sometimes confounded with slight cases of Small-pox, and thus given rise to the idea of a second attack of Variola, or of its occurrence after Vaccinia. Varicella may, however, be distinguished from Small pox by the period of its successive stages, which are ai together much shorter, not exceeding, in the whole, five or six days, and in the nature of the fluid contained in the vesicles, which is watery and nearly transparent, never assuming the purulent appearance.
