 The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will require frequently thorough soaking in order to penetrate the thick eped skin and crusts with which these parts are often covered. Dry care fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first, and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent, pills, or liquid, iii medium doses. Do not use cold water in bathing, and avoid cold, raw winds.
