, PECULIAR stale OF the nalr winch IOrml
itself into q mass as hard as felt anC
which cannot be Strengthened out during
the progress of the disease as the hail
curls mp again as rapidly as it is loosened.
The case Is that Of Miss Lulu Towne o.
Morrisville and the disease made itsell
manifest after 3 treatment at a hair dress
ing parlor. The hair was OF exceptional
length and q fine texture, but within an
hour was q hard mass. The ordinary
medical books contain no mention of the
disease because Of its rarity but in books
devoted especially to diseases OF the skin
and scalp it is mentioned. In all cases
mentioned the disease shows itself inn
mediately after the use Of warm water on
the hair. When the patient was most
nervous the trouble was worse. The
scalp seems in no way affected and the
growth Of the hair is not interfered with.
