This would stop the itching for few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. After suffered about ten years

The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part Of my body except my
face and hands. The best doctor in my
native county advised mo to use arsenic
in small doses and salve. then used
to battle the sores in mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi-
ton used other remedies, such as iodine,
sulphur Zinc salve, Is Salve,

tinually giving some remedy fair trial,
