the glands of the neck, which frequently appears at this time, and may occur too when there is an absence of all strumous taint. It is only necessary to make one further remark, that in some infants a rash always precedes the cutting a tooth. Sometimes it appears in the form of hard elevated pimples as large as peas; in other instances in the form of red patches, of the size of a shilling, upon the arms, shoulders, and back of the neck. They are always harmless, require no particular attention, and prevent, I doubt not, more serious complaints. The further management of children is treated of in the companion volume 'On the Maternal Management of Children,' to which we refer the reader. 327 INDEX.
