6s.7 per cent Of the total product re-

days I was completely cured, and i think permanently, as it was about five years ago.
 "The psoriasis first made it's appear ance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center aspot about the size of silver dollar of sound flesh. In Q short time the affected circle would form heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If l let the scales remain too long without remov. ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. suffered intense itching. worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
