wrapped up all the time, and if he would
happen to get them uncovered he would
claw his face till the blood streamed down
on his clothing. We called in physician
at once, but he gave an ointment which
was so severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed doctors
and medicines until we had spent fifty dol
