Moorehead.-Dr. David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Kind Sir: "Ringworm
of the scalp is essentially the same
disease as ringworm Of the skin; it
consists in the growth of a micro
scopic vegetable which causes a light
inflammation and irritation of the
surrounding skin. In consequence of
the presence of the hairs, however,
ringworm of the scalp is a far more
obstinate affection than ringWorm on
parts of the body not covered with a
thick growth OF hair, for these micro
scopic plants grown down into the
little sacs Or follicles which surround
the roots of the hairs; hence it is far
more difficult to destroy and eradicate
the parasites when they acquire a
foothold on the scalp than it is when
they grow upon the surface of the
skin elsewhere"
! "Favus" is caused by another vege-
table parasite, member of the fungus
family of plants, the achorion schoen-
leinii. This parasite grows only on
the hairy parts of the body as a rule,
tho it occasionally appears on the 9th
er parts of the skin. In this disease
crusts are formed in and around the
hairs; they are: often matted together
so as to constitute an enormous scab
over q large part of the whole of the
scalp. These crusts ere of a yellowish
color, often somewhat saucer shaped,
and are pierced in the middle by a
hair. When the crusts are removed
there is observed underneath reddish
surface from which the skin has been
separated; in bad cases deep ulcers
are found underneath the. crusts. When
these masses are removed by treat
ment the skin heals again, but in
many cases the sites of the disease re-
main permanently bald. This results
from the fact that the hair follicles are
entirely destroyed by the growth of
the parasite. In aggravated cases,
where the disease has been neglected
for months or years, the entire scalp
may be absolutely devoid of hair"
The above is copied from the ''Prac-
tical Physician" and gives a descrip-
ton Of the trouble have. Have had
it for several years, on my forehead
for about three years. Have not seen
any doctors for it, and the only thing
I have used is tincture of iodine
but no cure. Have taken blood medi-
cines, but it is no disease of the blood.
Washing it seems. also to do more
harm than good: If you can form an
idea of what my trouble is from these
| lines, hope to hear from you. The two
diseases, by the description. are so
much alike, that I mentioned both.
Respectfully, J. P. -.
The description which you have CIV
en- Is fairly accurate, but the method
of treatment is practically valueless,
The Home Health club treatment of
ringworm is given in Volume II of the
club books, and am quite certain that
If you apply the treatment described
YOU will be relieved. l have also writ

treatment.
