the neck and continuing to increase, until it covered
the most Of the body. 1t commenced with small
pimpe pustule from which water at first dis
charged; this produced great itching and burning;
then matter pus formed, the skin cracked and
bled and the pus discharged freely. The sutferings

so offensive, to make it difficult to pay that partic-
ular attention the nature of the required The
disease called Scad Head and general Salt
