great sufferer with skin diseases for the last twelve
~ years. My head and face being covered with
sores, l could not rest with the burning heat and
itching of the parts affected, and confined my
house for weeks at time. My disease has been
called Eczema, of most aggravated type by many
physicians but doubt if ever fully understo Cd by
any of them 1t more like a combination of
several skin humors. ] have spent much money

Now. about three months ago, Mr.. Meehan,
