cause after ithas healed i leaves an indelli-
BILE mark about the size andshape of date.
1t generally makes its appearace upon the
face, lasts a year and then disappears.
The cheek of nearly every man and woman
in Bagdad shows the inevitable mark.
Sometimes it settles upon the nose and

Strangers are attacked even after q brief
residence; but fortunately, if they are adults
the sore is more apt to come on the arm.
In every case the attack runs its course for
one year. No treatment, no ointment, nor
medicine has the slightest effect upon it.
Once the sore appearing the sufferer knows
what to expect, and may as well resign
himself to his fate. The Arabs say that
every one that goes to Bagdad must get
