this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-tlincd sense of shame dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those who, from cdu-
cstion and responsibility, can alone bofrond him,
delaying till tho constitutional symptoms of tho
horrld disease makes their appearance, such
liberated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs dimness Of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blotchcs on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frghtful rapidity, till at last the
