Is a chronic and congesred 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
companied by an oily. greasy condition of the
skin, and the nose is apt to feel cold rather than
warm-often takes months and even years to
thoroughly develop. After awhile the redness
becomes permanent, and upon close examina-
tion you will find the nose and cheeks covered
with a network of nne veins and cap1llarteS-
Sometimes these run in straight lines on the
side of the nose. near the end, but as rule
these veins run irregularly, sometimes forming
regular loops. We often see a 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 pImples 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-affectS
both sexes. In the third stage the nose is gen.
erally enlarged, the veins enlarged to an
enormous extent, are 4 dark red or liVd color
and the nose becomes rough, rec, corrugated
tubuIated, 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 III which no cause
whatever can be found for the development Of
this disease. In other words MANY a true man
and noble woman are compelled to bear the
banner of Baccnus in their face while they NAV
be perfectly abstemiOus in their habits Men
who are exposed to the extremes of weather
as caDmen, drivers, etc., are predisposed to
Rosacae-also women who work in the heat do
their own cooking. are predsposed TO it, also
men VINO work by open ovens receiving sudden

subject to the worst forms of Rosacae.
DR.. Van Dyck has devoted special attention
to the scientific treatment of this disease and
mas achieved most remarkable success in its
treatment, and feels positive that he can
truthfully assert that he has cured more cases
OF Acne Rosacae than any other physician liy-
ing to-day. If you have the above, any disease
or blemish 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
