Eczema is caused by an acid hunor in
he blood coming in contact with the
kin and producing great redness and in
dammation; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thil, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales Of sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssurcd Eczema in any
form is a tormcntng, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbcaraJlc; the acid burning
humor seems 10 oozc ogt and set the skin
on FIRE. Salyes, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
il will keep the skin irritated.
