great sufferer with skin diseases for the last twelve
(l2) years. My head and face being covered with
Sores could not rest with the burning heat and
itching or the parts affected, and was confined to
my house for weeks at time. My disease has
been called Eczema, OF most aggravated type, by
many physicians, but doubt if ever fully UNDER

much money seeking cure and in 1861 went TO
