Pitting
in
Small
Pox.
The
following
is
a
simple
process
that
has
been
adopted
most
successfully,
not
only
in
cases
of
small
pox,
in
which
it
completely
prevented
pitting,
but
in
all
eruptive
diseases
generally,
such
as
measles,
scarlatina,
nettlerash,
chicken
pox,
&c.,
relieving
the
itching,
tingling,
and
irritation
of
those
complaints,
and
thereby
affording
great
relief,
especially
in
the
case
of
children.
It
consists
in
smearing
the
whole
surface
of
the
body,
after
the
eruption
is
fairly
out,
with
bacon
fat;
and
the
simplest
way
of
employing
it
is
to
boil
thoroughly
a
small
piece
of
bacon
with
the
skin
on,
and
when
cold
to
cut
off
the
skin
with
the
fat
adhering
to
it,
which
is
to
be
scored
crosswise
with
a
knife,
and
then
gently
rubbed
over
the
surface
once,
twice,
or
thrice
a
day,
according
to
the
extent
of
the
eruption
and
the
recurrence
of
itching
and
irritation.
Another
plan,
practised
by
Dr.
Allshorn,
of
Edinburgh,
is
to
mix
three
parts
of
oil
with
one
of
white
wax,
by
heat,
and
while
warm
and
fluid
to
paint
over
the
face
and
neck
with
a
camel-hair
brush.
As
this
cools
and
hardens
it
forms
a
mask,
which
effectually
excludes
the
air,
and
prevents
pitting.
It
is
said
that
if
light
is
admitted
into
the
patient's
room
through
yellow
blinds,
so
that
the
red
and
blue
rays
of
the
sun
are
excluded,
pitting
will
be
prevented.
