Socrates called beauty SnOrL-llNeu
tyranny, Plato a privilege OF nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor OF the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters OF recon-
mepdation In the world, and yet none
OF these distingui shed authorities has
left us even q hint OF how beauty Is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages OF, age
and disease defled. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pailor or
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous designations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly flushes,
moth, II not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
defacIng the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakabie.
II such be the unhappy condition or
one afflicted with slight sklR blemishes,
what must be the feelings OF those In
whom torturing humors have Tor
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales aud sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become q 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 aud fluids seem 10 be i'm
pregnated with fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
upon the surface of the body, inflames
and burns until, In his efforts for relief,
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
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, a patch OF
letter on the palm Of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly envelops the body
In its fiery embrace, bruise on the leg
expands into q guawing ulcer, which
reaches out its fangS 20 the sufferers
heart In every paro1ysm OF pain, q
small kernel In the neck multiplles into
O dozen, which eat away the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rssh-like infam nations In such album
dance as to pass credulity; and so on
may we depict the suferings TO which
poor human nature is subject, all of
which involve great mental distress
because of pers onal designations.
If there were not another external
disease known, eczema alone would be
q sufficient inhiction on mankind. 1t
pervades all classes, and descends i'm
partially through generations. While
some are constantly enveloped in 1t,
others have 1t confined to small
patches In the ears, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms OF the hands,
on the limbs, etc, but everywhere its
distinctive feature Is small watery
blister, which discharges an acrld
fluid, causing heat, Inflammation, and
intense itching. Ring-worm, letter,
scaled head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly aud itching order OF diseases.
Psoriasis, our modern leprOsy, with
It's mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
Redeemed base, which bleeds upon
the removal of the scale, IL to be
dreaded and avoided, as of old. In
petigo, BARRIERS itch, erysipelas, and q
score of minor disorders make up in
part the catalogue of external diseases
of the skin. Thus far we have made
no allusion to those Affections which
are manifestly impu rites Of the blood,
viz; swelling of the glands of the
throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs,
tumors, assesses, and mercurial
poisons, with loss of hair, because
the whole list can be comprehended In
the one word sCro fula.
1t Is in the tire atment of torturing,
dishguring humOrs and affections Of
the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss OF
hair, that the Cuticura remedies have
achieved their greatest success. Orig

able IS the most delicate and sensitive,
they present to young and old the most
successful curative of modern times.
This will be conside ed strong language
by those acquainted with the character
and obstinacy of blood aud skin humors
but 1t is justified by iunumerable sue
cesses where all the remedies and meth
DDS In vogue have failed to cure, and,
In many cases, to relieve, even.
The Cuticura treatment is at once
agreeable, speedy, economical. and
comprehensive. Battle the affected

cura soap, to cleanse the sur ace of

rubbing, and apply Cuticura DIN tment
