DYING OF A RARE DISEASE
The Skin OF Iowa Woman Becomes
Black and Hard.

A disease seldom recorded has at
tackled Mrs. Abel Hare, forty-five
years old, of Elgin, ILL.,, and is slowly
causing her death. 1t is known as

hands and arms into a black sub

feeling The disease has spread from
the fingers to the elbows in a week,
and the hands resemble ebony in APP

from contraction of the coverings of
the blood vessels.
