the skin and peel OFF, leaving the UNI

scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw with

OF her head there appeared heavy
scab a quarter of an inch thick. 1t
was awful to see so small baby look
as she did. Imagine! The doctor
was afraid to put his hands to the
