CONCERNING HIVES
The Causes and Proper Treatment OF Thia
Painful Disease.

Inc Causes and Proper Treatment OF Thia
Painful Disease.
This disease, called by the doctors
urticaria, occurs in the form of small,
rounded or irregular-shaped b1otches,
OF reddish or pinlkish color, ranging
from the size of small pea to that OF
she palm of the hand. The spots are
generally raised slightly above the level
OF the surrounding skin, but may be
pulled up to the height of an inch OF
more. The discomfort of their presence
arises principally from the burning and
tlngling sensation which always accom-.
panies their eruption, and which has
given rise to the popular name of met
tie RASH
There are several varieties of the dis.
ease, distinguished by the appearance
or tendency of t;ie blotches. Sometimes
they are small fiat nodules, and not
larger than a pea. In this form they
may disappear as rapidly as they come,
and leave no trace behind save the
scratches on the skin. Other varieties
may show the presence of hemorrhages
at the affected spot, and still third
kind is accompanied by the formation OF
water-blisters. Sometimes tumors of a
considerable size appear at these spots
The acute cases often come on attend
ed by some disturbance of the stomach,
accompanied with fever and headache.
The rash may affect nearly the whole
body at once. In this case the blotches
are apt to disappear rapidly, without
leaving a trace. In the chronic form the
andividal spots may come and go rapidly,
but crop after crop appears during Sc
fies of weeks or months
There seem to be multitude of causes
Tor the eruption, and they may be either
external or internal Certain irritants
applied to the skin will cause it. Among
these are nettles, caterpillars, jelly-fish,
deas and mosquitoes. Liniments or the
application of cold may have the same
effect
It follows disturbances of the stomach
or digestion, such as may be caused by a
change of diet, an overloaded stomach,
certain drugs or highly seasoned food.
In individual cases there may be some
peculiar article of diet which will bring
on crop of blotches. Among these are
fish, oysters, CLAIMS, Holsters, pork, oat-
meal, strawberries and mushrooms. In
children the presence of worms may be
. suffcient cause.
The treatment must be directed to-
ward the special cause acting in each
given case. Emetics or laxatives are in
d3cated when it is known to be some ir-
1itAnt which has been taken into the di-
gestive tract. Bathing with saltwater,
vinegar, alcohol or carbolic acid will
give relief to the intense itching. One
remedy may fit one case and not anoth-
e.. Acute cases generally yield readily
but the chronic form is often very stub

Yefcs3ve that the doors, thickly over
asid with gold, are also incrusted with
Jewels; great emeralds uncut, amethysts,
topoS and turquoise glitter in the bril-
Gantly lighted corridors.
AZ the door you pause, dazzled with
che CLEAN of sc, 600 candles set in crys-
tai, and beneath them, before the golden
throne, blazes the beautiful woman,
sister to the Princess of Wales, who
holds her own amid all these splendors
with the simple dignity Of the Cinderel-
la Princess who made her own bonnet in
the little kingdom by the sea.
Her robes are stiff with diamonds and
strands of priceless pearls which, with
their great pear-shaped pendants, fall
like network nearly to her feet.
Scarcely an inch of textile fabric can
be seen, for the entire train is covered
with embroidery in gold and pearls and
lined with Russian sable.
The imperial treasures are beyond
calculation, but they are for use and not
merely kept as the curiosities of for
mer age-the great antique crowns with
the finest rubies and diamonds in the
world, the scepter with the wonderful
Orloff diamond in its head, are brought
out and used for different state cere-
monials-the people are given sight
fc thcm-and at the royal banquets the
gold and jeweled plate is taken from the
cabinets and spread for the feast.
An American politician once proudly
showed me a pearl which he dug from
his goblet with penknife when official
position gave him entree to one of these
