was better han all the letters Of recon-

of these diStingui shed authorities has
left us even hint of how beauty is To

II such be the unhappy condition of
one afflicted with slight skin blemisheS,
what must be the feelings OF those in

years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the

ray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered blessing.
The blood and fluids seem TO be i'm
prrgnatGd 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 dcsist.
Thus do complexional defects merge
into torturng disease, and piqued van
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, patch of
letter on the palm of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly envelopes the body
in its fiery embrace, bruise on the leg
expands into a gnawing ulcer, which

If there were not another external
disease known, eczema alone would be
a sufficient inhction on mankind. 1t
pervades all classes, and descends i'm
partially through generations. While
some are constantly enveloped in it,
others have it 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

petigo, BARRIERS itch, erysipelas, and 6
score of minor disorders make up In

Of the skin. Thus far we have made
no alusion to those Affections which
are manifestly impu rites of the blood

This will be conside ed strong languag

but 1t Is justified by innumerable sue
