tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Iheocritus delightful prejudice.
Theophrastus silent cheat, Carneades
q solitary kingdom. Homer n glorious
gilt of nature, Ovid favor of the
goes. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters OF recon-
mendatlon in the world, and yet none
OF these distinguished authorities has
left US even hint OF how beauty Is to
be perpetuated, or the rayagcs of age
and disease defed. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous designations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly fushes,
moth, II not rust, corrupts the glory
OF eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and flls the
sensitive soul with agony nnspeakable.
IL such be the unhappy condition of
one afflicted with slight skin blemlshes,
what must be the feelings OF those In
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements TO
become part OF the system until
deathp 1t Is vain TO attempt 10 por-
tray such suffering. Death In many
The blood and fluids seem TO be i'm
pregnated with fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
upon the surface of the body, innames
and burns until, Ia his efforts for relief,
tho patient tears the skin with his
nails, and not until the blood flows
does sufficient relief come TO cause him
10 desist.
THUS do complexionnl defects merge
Into torturing disease, and piqucd van
ity give place 10 real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
TO the all-devouring lupus. II patch of
tetier on the palm of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly enveIops the body
IN its fiery embrace, a bruise ON the leg
expands into gnnwing ulcer. which
reaches out its fangs 20 the sufferers
heart In every paroxysm OF pain,
small kernel In the neck multiplies into
a dozen, which eat away the vitality,
great pcarl-like scales grow from little
rash-like innammallons In such abun-
dance as to pass crednlttyi and so on
may We depict the sulierings to which
poor human nature is subject, all of
which Involve great mental distress
because of pers onal Designations.

some are constantly enveloped In II.

scaly and itching order of diseases.
Psoriasis. our modern leprosy, with
its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
redeemed base, which bleeds upon
the removal of the scale, Is to be
dreaded and avoided, as of old. I'm
petigo, BARRIERS itch, erysipelas, and n
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 rifles of the blood.
viz: swelling of the glands of the
throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs,
tumors, abscesses, and mercurlnl
/poisons, with loss of hair, because
the whole list can be comprehended In
the one word scrofula.
It is in the tire atment OF torturing,
dlsfgurlng humors and affections of
the skin, scalp. and blood. with loss OF

In any climate, Away ready, and agree

they present to young and old the most
successful curative of modern times.
This will be coDside ed strong language
by those acquainted with the character
and obstinacy of blood and skin humors
but 1t is justified by innumerable sue
cesscs where all the remedies and meth
DDS In vogue have failed to cure, and,
In many cases. to relieve, even.
The Cuiicura treatment Is at once
agreeable. speedy. economical. and
