Abstract
THOMAS Sydenham1 taught that there were two conditions necessary for the advancement of medicine: a description of the natural history of disease; and a method of treatment. To prepare such a history he instructed that "every philosophical hypothesis whatsoever that has previously occupied the mind of the author, should lie in abeyance. This being done, the clear and natural phenomena of the disease should be noted — these, and these only ..."1 We were impelled to prepare a study of the natural history of the eccrine miliarias because experience had taught us that these conditions were of great practical importance . . .Keywords
