Socrates called beauty a shortlived tyr
amy. Plato a privilege OF nature, Theocritus
: delightful prejudice, Theophrastus
silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom,
Homer a glorious gift OF nature. Ovid favor
81 the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
vas better than all the letters Of recommeu.
iatlon IN the world, and yet none Of these
distinguished authorities has left us even
lint Of how beauty Is to be perpetuated, or
he ravages Of age and disease deded. Time
soon blends the lily ard the rose into the
PaIl0r Of age, disease dots the fair face with
infamous designations and crimsOns the
Roman nose with unsightly Pushes, moth, If
aot rust, corrupts the glory Of eyes, teeth,
and lips yet beautiful by defacing the CON-
plexion, and fills the sensitive soul with
agony unspeakable.
II such be the unhappy condition Of one
Afflicted with slight skin blcmishes, what
must be the feelings Of those IA whom tortur-
ng humors have for years run riot covering
he skin with scales and sores and charging,
he blood with poisonous elements to become
part Of the system until death? It is vain
% attempt 10 portray such suffering. Death
10 many cases might be considered bless.

5regnated with q fiery element which, when
discharged through the pores upon the sur
lace Of the body, innames and burns uatl, ia
his efforts for relief the patient tears the
skin with his nails. and not until the blood

Thus do complexional defects merge into
lortuTing disease, and piqued vanity give
place 70 real suffering. A little Wart on the
nose or cheek grows 20 the al-devouring
lupus, a patch Of letter on the palm Of tho
hand or on the limbs suddenly envelops the
body IN its fiery embrace. a bruise on the
leg expands into A gnawing ulcer, which
reaches out lts fangs 70 the sufferers heart
In every paroxym Of pain, small kernel
IN the neck muluplies into a dozen, which
eat away the vitality, great pearl like scales
grow from little rash-like infammauons in
such abundance as 70 pass Credulity; and 80
on may we depict the suferings to which
poor human nature is subject, all OF which
Involve great mental distress because Of per.
Bonal designations.
II there were not another external disease
known, eczema alone would be ? sufficient
infection on mankind. 10 peryades al
classes, and desoends impartally through
generations While some are constantly
enveloped IA it, others have g confined q
small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms Of the hands, OF
the limbs, etc, but everywhere its distlnc
tive feature is q small watery blister, which
discharges an acrid uuld, causing heat, IN
