ACNE RosACAE
Is a chronic and congested infiammatory dis
ease of the face. mostly affecting the cheeks
and nose The characteristic features are red
ness, diatation and enlargement of the blood
vessels of the cheeks and nose and more or less
pimples and pustules.
Symptoms-At first there is more or 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
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 network of fine veins and capillaries.
Sometimes these run in straight lines on the
side of the nose. near the end, but as a rule
these veins run irregularly, sometimes forming
regular loops We often see vein, say one
half to inch in length. and these fine fila
ments of veins running i'll all directions from
main stem; then hardindurated 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-affects
both sexes. In the third stage the nose is gem
orally enlarged, the veins enlarged to an
enormous extent are a dark RED or livd color,
and the nose becomes rough, rec, corrugated,
tubulated, and in some cases assumes mons
trous proportions, becoming as large as q 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 true man
and noble woman are compelled to bear the
banner of Bacchus 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-also women who work in the heat do
their own cooking. are predisposed TO it. also
men who work by open ovens receiving sudden
flashes OF the heat in their faces, often have
it. Bankers, clubmen and highlivers are also
subject to the worst forms of Rosacae.
DIR. 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 can
truthfully assert that he has cured more cases
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 DR.. Van Dyck with
every confidence in his skill. He has studied
and treated these cases for 20 years and has he
come almost perfect in their treatment. Pa
tients at a distance can be treated by letter,
