ACNE ROSACAE
Ia a chronic and congested iDfammatory 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 cheek 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
waTm-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 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 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.
orally enlarged. the veins enlarged to an
enormous extent, are dark red or livid color
tubulated, and in some cases assumes mons
trous proportions, becoming as large 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 manya 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
il. 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 q most remarkable success in ira
treatment. and feels positive that he can
truthfully assert that he has cured more cases
of Acne Rosacae than any other physician Iiy.
