Socrates called beauty snort-llVeu
Il. tyranny, Plato q privilege of nature,
Theocritus delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus n silent cheat, Carneades
q solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious
gift OF nature, Ovid n 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 Tavages of age
and disease dened. Time soon blends
the lily aud the rose into the pallor OF
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous designations and crlmsons
the Roman nose with unsightly nushes,
moth, II not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
dcfacing the complexion, and nils the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakable.
II 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
wears run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sorec and charging the
blood with poisonous elements TO
become part OF the system until
death7 1t Is vain to attempt to por-
tray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered blessing.
The blood aud aulds seem ~ be I'M
pregnated with merry clemens which,
when discharged through tho pores
upon the surface of the body, iDfames
and burns until, in his efforts for relief,
the patient tears the skin with his
nails, and not mill the blood flows
does sufficient relief come to cause him
to desist.
