Streaming sore

A lesion deep in the body, so called because of the tendency of its toxin to move from one place to another, as if flowing through the flesh, so as one heals, another emerges elsewhere. It begins with a lump or diffuse swelling of the flesh. Pus forms, and after rupture and thorough drainage, the sore can heal.
