CHAPTER ON coLD-soREs.
Annoying Affection Springs from
Various Causes-Easy Of
Treatment.

Among the most annoying Of the little
pin-pricks of physical life is cold
sore, and worse still is crop of cold
sores. aays Youths Companion. These
come usually about the lips, but may
appear elsewhere on the face. or even On
other parts Of the body. They are quite
gregarious In their tendencies, one sore
being almost always accompanied or
followed by others.
A fever-blister or cold-sore (herpes 10
the scientific term) Is in the nature Of q
blister, but is deeply seated, SO that tbs
wall is thicker and tougher than that Of
an ordinary blister, such as that which
follows q burn, for example. There is .
feeling Of heat or burning for awhile
preceding the eruption. and then the
finger. instinctively drawn to the lip by
the uncomfortable sensation, feels q
hard. elastic elevation. made up of one
or several closely aggregated blisters
from the size Of the head of small pin
to that Of pea.
II not scratched. the blisters do not
break, because their walls are so thick,
but gradually DRIP up and form thin
crusts which, If not wolested, will final
ly drop OF and leave sound sfin eneath
II scratched or picFed the blister may
be broken or the scab removed too soon,
and then very sore spot will remain for
some days. or deep and persistent
crack in the lip will be formed.
Wehn herpes comes on the face it is
often quite extensive. 1t may appear in
the form Of patches of considerable size
Herpes is thought to be one Of the
skin diseases Of purely nervous origin,
although some regard 1t as caused BY
microbes and believe it to be contagious
In some persons fever blisters, or cold
sores. always come with cold or q
fever of any kind (hence the names given
to the eruption). and they are so COM
mon in pneumonia as almost to consti.
tute one of the diagnostic symptoms OF
that disease.
hopping colo sore every ten or Is
minutes with cologne water, or better,
spirit of camphor, will dry it up quickly.
After the scabs have formed. camphor-
ated vaselin or zinc ointment may be
applied three or four times a day.
Care should be taken not to pick at the
blisters, otherwise they may be con-
verted into troublesome and painful
sores.
II herpes occurs in frequent attacks
the digestive system is probably at fault,
and the family physician should be
asked to set 1t right.

SKIRT FOR wlLlowY GIRL
