q solitary kingdom. Homer o glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the
g'ds. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters Of recon-
mendation in the world, and yet none
OF these dislingui shed authorities has
left US even q hint of how beauty is to
be perpctuuted, or the ravages of age
and disease defed. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneOu5 designations and crimSonS
the Roman nose with unsightly flushes,
moth, IL not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes. teeth. ard lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony unspcakable.
II such be the unhappy conuilion of
one aff1i ted with slight skin blemishes,
what MUST be the feelings OF those in
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, Gov ering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part Of the system until
deathp It is vain to attempt to por-
tray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered blessing.
The blood and fluids seem to be inn
pr-gnated with fiery element which,
wh'.n 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
to desiSt.
Thus do complexional defects merge
into torturing disease, and piqued yan-
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-deyouring lupus, patch of
letter on the palm of the hand or on
tn. limbs suddenly envelops the body
in its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg
expands into gnawing ulcer, which
reaches out its fangs TO the sufferers
heart in every parOxysm Of pain, a
small kernel in the neck multiplies into
q ven, which eat away the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rash-llke inflam nations In such abun-
dance as to pass credulity; and so on
may we depict the sufferings to which
poor human nature is subject, all of
which involve great mental distress
because Of pers Quail Designations.
If there were not another external
disease known, eczema alone would be
q sufficient infliction on mankind. 1t
psrvades all classes, and descends Inn
partially through generations. While
some are constantly enveloped In 1t.
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 It's
distinctive feature Is small watery
blister, which discharges an acrid
fluid. causing heat, Inflammation, and
intense itching. Ring-worm, tettcr,
SCALED head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly and itching order Of diseases.
