Although the above complaints differ
widely in their origin and nature, yet they
all require local treatment. Many OF the
worst cases, OF snch diseases, will yield in
a comparatively short space of time when
this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the

have failed. In all serious nialsdies the

How to Discover Altered writings

A discovery is announced by a
French chemist, the value of which
lies in its application to the discov-
cry of alterations in writings that
are suspected with having been
tempered with. The coloring mat
ter Of ordinary ink consists chiefly
Of a combination of fannie acid
with oxide of iron. M. Colbert has
discovered that, however skillfully
any writing may have been erased,
sufficient traces Of the iron oxide
always remain to appear in a pho
tOgraphic image, though they may
be totally to the eye on the
original paper. He presented, as
an illustration, a bond drawn for
los francs which had been altered
to 5000 francs and SO negotiated.
The original paper bore no suspi-
cious appearance, and the closest
ocular inspection failed to detect
any trace of the figures that had
been erased. But on a photograph
Of the same paper the figures were
plainly %diScernible, mingled with
and partly obscured by the latter
figures substituted for them. The
light reflected from the surface
once stained by ink, though indis-
tinguishable by the eye, affects the
Photographic materials differently
from that reflected from the paper
where the ink has not touched it.
1t is believed that a photograph will
always settle the question whether
a suspected paper has been altered
by erasure.
