Vincent's angina as commonly seen is neither of very frequent occurrence nor very serious, is easily diagnosed and in the average case responds readily to treatment; but when we see a case in which the local lesions are extensive and at first not only resist all treatment, but tend to spread and to so undermine the patient's vitality that life hangs by a thread, we believe such a case is worthy of bringing to your attention, particularly since the patient did recover.
