Six years later a Jew named Per-

Plantagenet, Duke of York, one OF
the two princes supposed to have

of England.
Warbeck failed in several attacks
on Henry VII. and was finally run
down. He gave himself up on

the moles, hairy and otherwise, and those
red botches called wine stains straw

more disfigurng Heretofore they have
been treated in many ways but with
any degree of success. The freezing process
practically obiterates them.

strawberry marks is substantially the
