The particulars were pub'ished to-day of a case of lupus of the face that was treated by Dr Libbertz in Frankfort by Koch’s method. The case is progressing satisfactorily. The first effect of the treatment was to cause the lupus ulcers to swell and discharge liquid, afttr which scabs formed as in eruptive fevers. The doctor will renew the injoiioa when the scabs fall.
