tyranny, Plato q privilege of nature,
Theocritus delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
q solitary kingdom, Homer glorious
gift of nature, Ovid o favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters of recon-
mendation in the world, and yet none
Of these distinguished authorities has
LEFT US even hint Of how beauty Is to
be perpetuated, or the ravagcs of age
and disease defled. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous designations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly fushes,
moth, il not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition OF
one afflicted with slight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those In
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part Of the system until
death2 1t is vain to attempt to por-
tray such suffering. Death In many
cases might be considered blessing.
The blood and fluids seem to be i'm
pregnated with fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
upon the surface of The body, 1nnames
and burns until, in his efforts for reiier,
the patient tears the skin with his
nails. and not until the blood flows
does sufficient relief come to cause him
to desist.
Thus do complexional defects merge
into torturing disease, and piqued van
fly give place to real suffering. a
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, patch of
tetter on the palm of the hand or on
tho limbs suddenly envelops the BODY
In its fiery embrace, bruise on the leg

small kernel in the neck multiplles into

great pearl-llke scales grow from little
rash-like inflam nations In such album
dance as to pess credulity; and so on
NAV we depict the sufferings to which
moor human nature is subject, all of
which involve great mental dlstress
because of perso designations.
