A mortal poison pervaded the whole system, by means of which every thing received was converted into bane and purulence.

I felt as if I must run away from it and those terrible dressings, reeking with purulence, where ears and eyelids and lips come off and fingers and hands peel like a glove.

Already the exploiting class, as it neared the term of its depleted life, was but a mass of purulence.
