feelings, but it is the best word can use, for |
feel IT In every sense of the word. 1 have been a
great sufferer with skin diseases for the last twelve
(12) years. My head and face being covered with
sores, | could not rest with the burning heat and
itching OF the parts affected, and was confined to
my house for weeks at q time. My disease has
been called Eczema, OF a most aggravated type, by
many physicians, but doubt if ever fully under
stood by any of them. 1t was more like conbi-
nation of several skin humOrs. l have spent
much money seeking a cure, and in 1857 went TO
Europe, and consulted some OF The best physicians

in the spring Ii would break out as bad as ever.
When l came back to Boston, Twas told by many
friends that DR.. -, whose reputation for the
cure of those diseases was of the highest order

lodged within the skin, that as soon as L COM

out and greatly intensified my suHerlugs for about
two weeks. But l did not mind this, as felt that
