ACNE ROSACAE
Is a chronic and congested infammatory dis
ease of the face. mostly affecting the cheeks
and nose. The characteristic features are red
ness dilatation and enlargement of the blood
vessels of the cheeks and nose and more or less
pimples and pustuleS.
Symptoms-At first there is more OF less red
ness OF nose and cheeks; this Is frequently ac-
companied by an oily. greasy condition Of the
skim and the nose is apt to feel cold rather than
waIm-often takes months and even years TO
thoroughly develop. After awhile the redness
becomes permanent, and upon close examina-
ton you will find the nose and cheeks covered
with a network of fine veins and capillaries-
Sometimes these run in straight lines on the
side of the nose, near the end, but as rule
these veins run iTregularly, sometimes forming
regular loops. We often see vein, say one
half to an inch in length, and these fine fla
ments of veins running in all directions from
main stem; then hard indurated plmples appear,
which often fester-sometimes spreads to
cheeks. The course OF this disease is chronic,
generally lasting for years. Sooner or later
pimples and mattery pustules appear-afects
orally enlarged, the veins enlarged TO an
enormous extent, are dark red or livid color,
and the nose becomes rough, rec, corrugated,
tubulated, and in some cases assumes mons
trous proportions, becoming as large as mans
fist
The causes are general debility, dyspepsia,
anaemia, the use of brandy, whisky or wine
habitually. On the other hand there are many
cases occurring in both sexes IN which no cause
whatever can be found for the development Of
this disease. In other words many true man
and noble woman are compelled to bear the
banner of Baccnus in their face while they may
be perfectly abstemious in their habits. Men
who are exposed to the extremes of weather
as cabmen drivers ETC., are predisposed to
Rosacae-aIso women who work in the heat, do
their own cooking are predsposed to it, also
flashes of the heat in their faces, often have
it, Bankers, clubmen and highlIvers are also
subject to the worst forms of ROsacae.
DR.. Van Dyck has devoted special attention
to the scientific treatment of this disease and
has achieved most remarkable success in its
treatment, and feels positive that he eau
of Acne Rosacae than any other physician liv-
ing to-day. If you have the above, any disease
or bemish of the skin, complexion, hair or
scalp, you can consult DIR. Van Dyck with
every confidence in his skill. He has studied
and treated these cases for 20 years and has be-
come almost perfect in their treatment. Pa
tients at distance can be treated by letter,
