Synopsis
Excerpt from St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal, 1893
In his early life the cuticle began to be shed on the second or third day after the symptoms appeared, and was complete by the fifth day; but each succeeding year it takes a little longer, until now it is ten or twelve days before the shedding is complete. The cuticle can be detached in large sheets, and from the hands and feet in the form of gloves and mocassins. The nails are loosened and crowded off in about four weeks after the acute stage.
